Can change of load on one winding affect output of other windings (Flyback SMPS)?

For a flyback SMPS, if the output [with feedback] is loaded, the
switching duty cycle goes up.

In this situation, what would happen to voltages on other outputs ?

(They remain constant I guess, but why?? Shouldn't they shoot up?)

Please explain.

Why guess that they would remain the same if you think they shoot
up?
Why would the other output go up as well ?
If it did, by how much ?
Please explain.

Sounds like homework.
We've done ours :)

Hint: you may be looking at more than one phenomenon at the same
time.

They will go up, unless the other outputs also contribute to the feedback
loop.

They will go up, unless the other outputs also contribute to the feedback
loop.

Or unless the other outputs have some sort of secondary-side
regulation (i.e., the addition of a linear regulator - not uncommon
in switch-mode power supplies for the more lightly-loaded
and otherwise unregulated/unmonitored outputs.
