I have reported this multiple times before. Each time I get an update on the iphone or the Mac, I see if it's fixed. Nope.
When I am using my iMac or iPad or Macbook Air, calls are NOT SILENCED. They come through on those devices regardless of the setting on the phone.
Also, I have never figured out how to report a bug to Apple. Seems like unless you are a developer, they are not interested.
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 13.5
To send a Bug Report and close the Devices under discussion with the Issue >>
Have 3 different Apple Computers all running latest Ventura 13.5.2.
Also have an iPhone 14 running latest iOS 16.6.1
All 4 devices are using the Same Apple ID Account
All devices are using iCloud to Sync including Pick Up Calls on Other devices
In the iPhone I have setup as per image below from that iPhone 14
No Unknown Calls arrive on any of the devices Laptop, Desktop or iPhone

That probable spam should like something append by your Mobile Carrier and not a process native to iOS or macOS that I know of
Suggest exploring this specific probable spam issue with your Carrier ( Mobile )
Seems uniques to me

What I can say from personal experience FWIW.
If the Caller is Not in my Contacts application of any of the devices - the Call does not come in
If the Callers Phone Number has been previous Blocked by my specific Actions - The phone call never registers at all
Have you ever received an e-mail with the wording SPAM Appended to the Subject Line ?
That would a Server Side Filtering whai would be difficult to avoid
Using the same above example and apply it to Cellphone calls
No, I have never seen that. My spam filter seems to work properly. I have a gmail account and use Apple mail on the Mac.
My sole point is that phone calls from those not in my contacts should be blocked every time, not just when the other devices are off.
All of my devices are running the most recent version of the OS. "Silence unknown callers" is turned on on the phone. There is no such setting on the other devices.

You are correct. The point is that the caller is NOT in my contacts and should never come through on any device.
Silence unknown callers not working properly
