Are you asking if it will automatically change the category being tracked? If so, the answer is no. If the badge is looking at CategoryA and you change CategoryA to CategoryB, the badge will still be looking for CategoryA.

EDIT

Note however, that counters for the badge track will not reset; they will simply stop increasing. As soon as you change CategoryB back to CategoryA, the badge track will start counting again. However, it will not count any edits made while CategoryA was CategoryB. In short, a badge track is tied to a category and only counts edits if the page is in that category at the time of the edit.
