As the scene on the CRT gets brighter, the CRT draws more current while the voltage regulator draws less and vice versa. The whole idea of shunt regulators is to present a constant current load to the flyback/HV rectifier under all screen brightness levels.

As electronic m noted in a previous post that leaving the hv to high does run the risk of arcing within the crt and damaging both the flyback and the crt.
