No, because you have a constant upstream psi value.

I am be able to explain why you think this is the case. If you have any open ended checkvalve, you will not see any pressure at all.

Mass flow generates pressure = keeps the valve open - agreed 100%.

But if you have a restriction downstream (water jet), the flow will no longer able to keep the valve open, 20psi differential remains true.
