Is there any correlation in distance between different devices in a BLE connection?

I am curious whether there is a correlation in distance between different devices in a BLE connection.

A picture is attached to describe the situation.

A sensor-board will transfer sensor data to central board, and the phone can read the sensor-board data instantly via central board.

Here is the distance of TX in actual measurement:
- If we keep distance A at minimum 0.1m, then we can get distance B for 50m maximum.
- If we keep distance A at maximum 45m, then we can get distance B for 7m maximum.
Is there any correlation factor between distance A and B??

In other words, distance A + distance B = almost a fixed distance.

If distance A is getting short, then distance is getting long.

Does it make sense?
