Sure, it’s a term relative to time and place. Are people that want to preserve labour rights called conservatives in your country?
In most places in the West conservatives don’t really want to preserve the status quo, they’re often reactionary and want to go ‘back’ to a previous (or imaginary) status quo
You are completely right, but in these cases the proper name, I think, would be Reactionary, as you said, or Retrograde.
And Stagnantive should also be a separate category.
