Theme changes don't affect the content DB. You'd make your change in dev, verify it, then change the prod theme without worrying about content.

Wordpress is PHP (and html/css/js/etc)and SQL. WP does not inherently do staging, so you set up a dev environment. You sync content from prod to dev, make code tests on dev, then copy them to prod. It's not hard.

No, I get it, but that's not what I meant. I meant changes to page layout/design which is in the db.

Unless you have people making multiple layout changes at the same time you shouldn't have collisions. It's 2019, you don't need to lock an entire DB to make changes to tables. You can sync those changes while content changes are being made if you so choose.
