Because the function is not to keep obedience up, but to keep DOMESTICATION static.

Obedience is the short-term thing you increase with food quickly and that drops quickly when the beef is hungry. Obedience hitting 0 as you said causes the saddle to drop and trying to put a saddle on a 0 obedient beefalo will cause it to become aggressive.

The salt lick keeps domestication on the same value as long as the beefalo stays around it, not the obedience.

Additional tip: taking saddles off via saddlethorn will not decrease the saddles durability, so using a salt lick in combination with a saddlethorn lets you "park" the beefalo without any ill effects for as long as the salt lick holds.
