Lateral Raises before OHPing to pre exhaust the medial delt so it gets more activation during the OHP?
If you tire out a muscle in a particular exercise, it will delegate more of the load to the other muscles involved in the exercise.
This method is more likely to actually put less activation on the medial delt during the OHP.
I recommend switching the order.

Skullcrushers before ohp

solid logic

only if you break form, otherwise doing an isolation before a compound to pre exhaust has the effect that OP explained, try it yourself, do 10 reps of bicep curls and go straight into chinups, yes you'll do a few reps less but your bis should be burning by the time you get that last rep in, more so if just doing chinups
but in any case, doing an isolation after the compound is still more volume so it will lead to more growth, do whichever you believe is better I guess

i think there was some youtuber (omar isuf ?) explaining, that you can do some VERY LIGHT high rep pre-exercise drills like band pull aparts before bent over rows, straight arm band pushdowns for lat activation etc.
Its a known concept, works as both warmup and a mean to target muscle better.
But the point is not to wear the target muscle down, only activate it

I usually do all my compound lifts first before doing any isolation

Wrong. First this is isn't how it works, second OHP isn't that great at activating side delts, third always make big exercises priority. Pulling and Rowing are better at activating side delts then pushing exercises.
