Potential Ability for staff has indeed impact, meaning that staff improve over time similarly to players. So a 90/199 is definitely a better long term prospect than a 105/124.
The way it works I'm not really sure about, but I've seen it in practice so I can tell it works that way. It may be very simple, as in they can improve over time regardless of whether they are employed or not.
Perhaps their mental attributes or the training facilities of their current club could play some role in the whole process.
