No.  The packages will only update files in /usr/lib/systemd/system/.

If you drop a file, /etc/systemd/system/crond.service, it will
override the one in /usr/lib/systemd.  You'll get no benefit from
fixes in a package.

If you use /etc/systemd/system/cron.d/service.d/override.conf, the
changes in the override.conf will override the contents of
/usr/lib/systemd/system/crond.service.  So any fixes that appear in a
package update will only affect parts of the unit you didn't
override.
