If I'm understanding your question correctly, the
answer is No.  Changes to the Category bonus don't
affect the chance of increase.

Example:
Grog with 48% Listen Skill and 10% Perception Bonus. 
He has a 58% chance of succeeding with his skill to
get a skill check.  When he processes the check, he
needs to roll above 48% (his base skill).  Let's say
he does and increases his Listen by 3%.  He now has a
51% Listen Skill and since he crossed the 50%
threshold, his Perception bonus goes up to 11%.

So next time he needs to listen, he has a 51%+11%=62%
chance of success (and his other Perception chances
also went up).  When it's time to process the check,
the player needs to be above 51% (the base Listen
skill).
