Nope. Remember that database records are in the storage heap, not the
dynamic heap, so this is a pretty normal thing to do. (e.g. lots of
resources in the resource database that represents your app are locked for
the whole life of your application.)
The only potentially harmful side effect is that the large locked records
may interfere with efficient heap compaction, but that will only be a
problem if the device is very nearly full and you're also creating new
records in the storage heap while your app is running.
