The 5% escalator is not a 5% increase over the previous year's cap. It's a 5% increase over the cap as calculated from 50% of the previous year's actual HRR. If HRR remains flat, then the PA would be taking the same base figure every year to add the 5% to.

That means (a) no increase in the cap during that time, and (b) the cap would be calculated on a figure 5% higher than actual revenues warrant, and the players would have to give back that extra 5% in escrow.
