Conditional OSM tags

I'm not sure how often cycle.travel updates its OSM data, but does it follow "bicycle:conditional" tags? For example, a cycle track in Leeds is currently temporarily closed. This is tagged on OSM as "bicycle:conditional=no @ 2024 Nov 13-2024 Dec 23", when c.t next updates its data will it follow this restriction? Thanks!

Issue with closed road

I do realise that this is a strange edge case, but due to a building collapse on Kirkgate in Leeds, a small section of the road has been closed to through vehicular traffic (but the pavement is still open). This allows cyclists to dismount for a short distance, walk across the pavement and then remount back on the main carriageway.

The issue I'm facing is that cycle.travel seems to think that the entire road is closed, and plans around walking for a significantly longer distance, which causes some long diversions. I don't know if this is due to the data in OSM, or how cycle.travel is interpreting it.
