Will fixing set up violations in one path produce set up violations in other paths?

Is there any situation where fixing set up violations in one path will produce new set up violations in some other paths?
 

How are you fixing setup violations? If you are shortening data path to meet setup check, I don't see why that will produce new set up violations. If the data travels fast, then fixing setup may produce hold violations .

Yes. You add one buffer to make path A faster. This buffer might not help path B, only causing an extra load on path B. Sometimes tools will struggle to converge when such situations arise, eventually giving up.
