This is intended. 'Lock layers' means only to lock the layers displayed in a composer map, not their appearance.
Common use-case is this: you have 10 layers, but like to only display 2 of them in an overview map. So you set the 2 layers visible, add a composer map (as overview), select 'lock layers'. Then you go back to main map, set all 10 visible and add a second composer map in composer. Like that, you can have 2 composer maps displaying different layer sets (not layer styles).
