If the parking compny pays rent to the parking space owner (based on the auction’s highest price), then yes (the owner gets all the rental profits).

I have seen multiple times cases where an establishment has parking spaces outside that are not paying to that establishment. The customer is basically tricked into parking on spots that seem to be free for customers, but is in fact not: those are further away. The only reason it seems is that this gives more fines, and more profit to the parking company. Neither customer nor the establishment benefit from this at all.
