Yes, Error AADSTS53003 indicates a complete tenant lockout caused by Conditional Access policies. When all Global Administrators are blocked, recovery cannot be performed through self-service but required to escalate to Microsoft Support Data Protection / Tenant Recovery team with proof of Domain ownership and tenant details.
