That's crazy. Let's say the distance between the floor and the ceiling in my house is three meters. Let's say my child is 1 meter tall at age 3. Fifteen years later, my child is 2 meters tall. Would you say that the height of my ceiling has changed in relation to my child? The distance between the ceiling and the bottom of the child's feet is the same. The distance between his head and the ceiling has changed, but that's not the definition of the height of the ceiling.
It doesn't matter whether you call it line-height, line-spacing, or leading, it does not change based on the metrics of the font.
