That is not my understanding. What you describe would occur to the RFCxxxx document.
However, "STD005" is just a pointer, and it can be changed to point at the new RFC that defined STD005.
Right now that's not always what happens.
See: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcxx00.html
e.g., STD34 is replaced by STD56
I don't have an example of a STD for which the RFC changed. Some STDs point to RFCs that obsolete other RFCs, but the info as to whether the STD ever pointed to that obsoleted RFC isn't captured anywhere I saw...
