I think it will have minimal impact because signing bonuses are still the swaying factor and MLB teams still will value more known commodity college baseball juniors over higher risk HS players. The same balance will still exist.
Maybe it might factor in a few HS players forgoing an opportunity to play for Power 5 baseball program but I don't see a mass exodus because of these salary changes. This actually helps the non-bonus baby player more than anything. This is pocket change for first round picks.
