It's quite simple: players get 50% of HRR. If total salaries (contracts) add up to more than that, then they are prorated down to adjust.

If the total of all contracts is less than HRR, they would be prorated up.

There is no negative, except a perceived one.
I don't think what you are saying is accurate, I may be wrong though. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it that the salary cap is based on 50% of HHR divided by the number of teams in the league? I've never heard that the players receive a "bonus" top up if teams didn't spend the full 50%
