The potential is much greater with a champion dog. And no assumption was made that all of those pups would be breedworthy, but certainly some of them would. Even if it was only 2% that would then put 20 more dogs out there and so on. The numbers with a non show dog would be much less.
But non if this is answering the OPs question.

Then you evidently haven't checked out the various websites or newspaper adds for BYB's lately. The number of badly bred, sick dogs out there far out number the Championed dogs being studded out. And therefore, the overall number of sick dogs from the non-show breeders far exceeds the ones coming from the show breeders. But it goes back to the statement I made earlier: if you are truly concerned with the health of the Yorkie breed, either ALL breeding dogs need to be tested or none of them do. Which is it?
