Do dealers profit from taking your lease when the residual is way lower than market?

I am curios if multiple Acura dealer will give me a better lease price because they know they can make money on my current lease.
I am at the end of my current 2019 A-Spec RDX lease and looking to lease a new 2022 RDX A-Spec. The residual on my current lease is $26,200 with less than 30k miles, 7k miles under the 36k miles 3yr lease allotment, car is excellent condition. Online trade-in value KBB is $39k.
Can a dealer keep the car sell it and only pay Honda Financial the residual or does Honda Financial take the resale profit?
I live close to NYC so there are multiple Acura Dealers I could try and deal with.
Thanks for any insight?

You could, however, trade in the car at fair market value and put that profit in your pocket, or use it as down payment for the next lease.

I am paying 495 if I can’t get the same I’ll extend the lease. Honda Financial says I can extend for up to a year.
