So basically they held that the old collection program- the one no longer in place since enactment of the so called USA FREEDOM act in 2015- violated the FISA statute. They did not reach the question of constitutionality because it was unnecessary for the ruling. So basically, as you suspected this will have absolutely 0 effect on NSA spying.

They only destroy data when they run out of storage, and if they have evidence of crimes and treason they don’t delete. It is kept for blackmail purposes. You will never be allowed to see it, but don’t think they don’t have and use it for nefarious purposes.
