Think about it like balancing a table, a corner balanced car is a flat table, but not necessarily a level one. Put a ball in the center and it should roll off one side dead center, not head towards a corner.

If you take a table and lift one side of it equally (adding or subtracting rake is likely what you're doing) you only changed the 'levelness' in one direction. Since corner balance is a balancing of cross weight (RF+LR or LF+RR) lifting one side (say by shimming two legs equally) of the car/table doesn't change the 'cross-balance' of the system.

tl;dr if you're moving one side of the car evenly (i.e. raising the rear by X turns) your crossweight shouldn't be drastically changed.
