Yes, they changed it in 2020. There were originally five standalone factors that went into NET ranking. One of them was margin of victory, which was capped at 10 points in the formula. There are now only two components of the NET Ranking:

[I]The remaining factors include the Team Value Index (TVI), which is a result-based feature that rewards teams for beating quality opponents, particularly away from home, as well as an adjusted net efficiency rating.[/I]

So margin of victory was removed as a standalone factor, but instead of it being on its own and capped at 10 points, it's now baked into the net efficiency rating with absolutely zero controls on it.
