Can a Stale Share Ever Be Used for a Future Block Reward Calculation?

No, a stale share cannot be used for a future block reward calculation. A share is only valid for the specific block it was being mined for.

Once that block is solved, the cryptographic context changes, and the stale share's proof-of-work becomes irrelevant for the next block. The miner must immediately start working on the new block template.
