That is true but you can have at least the negative conclusion: if it is
updatable then it is no Produced Work. 

I initially thought it would take out most of the value but it is not
(completely) true. if someone creates a snapshot of the database, cuts off
all IDs and builds a branch of OSM map then it is still highly valuable for
a map producer (while most users are interested OpenStreetMap data that are
updated).

Consequently this means that if you put layer (not an image) of e.g. outlets
like McDonalds on the map (and fulfill the criteria of substantiability -
meaning more than 100) than you have to make these outlet database
available. So far, I was assuming that a layer of POIs on top of the map is
a Produced Work but it is not as soon as it becomes "significant" (volume
wise).

This also means that commercial POI providers cannot show POIs on top of the
OSM map without their data falling under the Share-A-Like license.

I read it as you need to mention the origin of the Produced Work with its
underlying license rather than providing the database. Any derived database
needs only to be made available if it is made public either direct or
indirect (through an application) to my understanding.
