So, your point here is the trap will stop that suction even though the
water in the cold head box is slightly above the water in the
condensate trap? I'm not sure if a good seal can be made with that
set up. I thought these traps were to stop any residual exhaust gas
from traveling into the house.

Thats what you get for thinking.
The trap has to be *BELOW* where the water is coming from, and its to allow
the water to drain even though there is a pressure difference between where
its coming from and where its going to.
