Not so. The gain is determined by the total anode load impedance, not just the 
resistance in the network. A given length of resistance wire in a coil has a 
certain reactance and a certain resistance, when measured as series components. 
As frequency goes up, so does the total impedance when considered as series 
components, and so does the total impedance when considered as parallel 
components - at the same frequency.
An inductor in shunt with a resistor in parallel shows an impedance change as 
frequency goes up that is asymptotic to the impedance of the resistor. That 
says the network impedance has a maximum value, and thus the amplifier gain has 
a maximum value.
