Often what helps is to imagine some parameter is taken to the extreme, such as zero or infinity.
Imagine if the supercharger outlet was out in the open (air pipe not connected to the engine, but belt still belt-driven).
What would the boost pressure be at the supercharger outlet?

I was thinking Thst because the runners were eliminated between the middle intake and lower intake that pressure cannot be built up due to the disbursement of the air between lower and middle intakes.

Pretty much, your reasoning makes sense.
If you see the boost pressure go down on a setup with a belt-driven supercharger, it means you've done something to make the engine breath better.

So then the question is do I just leave it or swap back in a tick I modified middle intake? Will it result in any difference in power?

the lower boost pressure means(in this case) each cylinder is getting more air in, this is typically a good thing. I would leave it. ------------------
