It shouldn't. You would need to delete it.

Would removing a device delete the backup on iCloud for it? The new iPad won’t be arriving for another week, but I’d like to sell (or give away) an older iPad Pro device. It has been backed up onto iCloud. Could I (1) Reset all Content and Setting, (2) Remove the device from my Apple/iCloud account, and later setup my new iPad device using the backup on iCloud? I am concerned that removing this device will delete the backup of it.

iCloud data and removing a phone or iPad from your account When getting rid of an old device (iPhone or iPad) do you loose all the data (photos, contacts) that were saved during previous iCloud backups? to reset the device, it says it will be removed from my iCloud account but I do not want to loose the backed up data
