The answer is NO. Any toleration maintenance for product A is for the FMIDs associated with product A and is only dependent on product A and any pre-requisite/co-requisite products you already have installed for product A and the SMP/E zones and data sets associated with product A. This is true whether the products involved are versions of z/OS or some other product. You generally need the toleration PTFs in place for A before running version B against any production volumes or data used with version A. This is true whether you plan to run both versions A and B concurrently, or just serially as in upgrading from A to B. One rare possibility you should always be prepared to deal with is finding some issue unique to your installation that cannot be quickly resolved that might force you to revert back to version A after your data and volumes have been touched and potentially changed using version B.
