In this instance when a question is closed for a particular reason, would it not be better to then mark any flag with the same reasoning as "helpful" even if the flag had been previously declined by another moderator?

Edit

I flagged this question as off topic as (other issues aside) it was more a technical question. The flag was declined but it was later closed as off topic.

There was a spam flag on the post.

Because the moderators are taking a literal approach to spam flags, NAA flags, and LQ flags (and the spam flag has the highest priority out of all of these flags) I had to decline the spam flag.

Unfortunately, your flag was swept up with the rest of that. It was off topic, so then it was closed as such, but it wasn't spam, and I had to decline that.
