Should base plate installations be kept sealed from moisture?

Yes. The joint between the base plate and the concrete or masonry should be caulked or grouted with non-shrink epoxy grout after anchor installation. This prevents moisture from wicking under the plate and accelerating corrosion at the steel-to-concrete interface, which is a common failure point for outdoor post installations.
