I believe it works similarly but includes virtually all skills and is not position-dependent.

In my view it works as sum of skills with different weights for every skill. The thing about the SF is that for a player to be considered as SF he needs primarly jump shot and rebounds, skills that happens to be useful for virtually all positions. So, in the potential sum is very likely that RB and JS are two skills considered as primary(relative high weight), this would lead us to an scenario where players listed as SFs (because high JS and decent RB) reach the potential cap at lower salaries than others positions because some key skills happens to be also important for potential sum.

for my example sf this isn't the reason, because he is nearly on one level with the most skilsl.

IF salaries come down with the next wage update (and thats a big IF).... does that mean that you could theoretically train each respective potential level a bit more?

ie. Allstar maxes out at 50k.. revised salary 40k.. would I be able to train more efficiently than before?

I do not think so. Potential caps are not based on salary(my opinion) but on skills(BB-Charles statement).

So whatever changes in salaries, should not change any potential cap. But it will be harder for us to approximate that in the way we have been.

so where would a HOF/MVP SF be capped?

While we can't tell exactly what is going to happen with salaries next season, there is no way to give you a reasonable answer at this time. Not that I can at leaste.

It sounds logical that it is the sum of certain skills that makes one reach the soft cap...

Do remember that positions vary season to season if your training on that player varies - a shooting guard might turn into a small forward or vice versa for example...

Well, my whole point is that this weighted sum does not depend on position.
