I'm not sure that both of those are common LW beliefs (at least common in the same people at the same time), but I don't see any conflict there. If there are no moral absolutes, then making current values permanent is just as good as letting them evolve as they usually do.
Who here advocates making current values permanent?
Replace "making current values permanent" with CEV jargon on extrapolating volition into future minds within a trajectory determined by current human values. (The CEV program still needs to demonstrate that means something different from "making current values permanent". Details depend, among other things, on how or whether you split values up into terminal and instrumental values.)
It certainly explicitly claims not to be doing that - see:
