Can MDM automatically lock an old revision when a new revision is created?

MDMWorkflow
Direct answer
Yes. An MDM workflow can start when a new revision level is added, lock the prior revision and its sub-levels, and leave the new revision available for its defined process. Unlocking an older revision can require special permission and a comment, while MDM records who performed the action.
Practical checkpoint
Test the workflow on a sample part hierarchy and verify both the old files and every relevant sub-level inherit the intended locked status.
