The FancyBreak style is intended just for the break, either with no
text at all or with some decoration (e.g. three stars). The
"KeepEmpty" keyword ensures that LyX will not delete this special
paragraph even when it is empty.
The to-be-separated paragraph (claim, proposition, ...) should be
typed after another [Return] in a paragraph of Standard (or whatever)
style.
The basic idea is a promintent separator between standard paragraphs.

However, in your case you could consider to write a special Style for
your claims, propositions, laws ... that would take content and give
it the desired formatting.

both. The "normal" keywords tell LyX what to show and what to do,
while the Preamble defines the command for LaTeX.
Example:
Style Proposition
LatexName proposition
LatexType command
ParSep 1
NextNoIndent 1
Preamble
\providecommand{\proposition}[1]{\par
\vskip 0.5\baselineskip
\noindent #1
\vskip 0.5\baselineskip
\@afterindentfalse
\@afterheading}
EndPreamble
End
If the proposition (or ...) may contain more than one paragraph, the
Style should be defined as an environment and the second+ paragraphs
nested ...
