Yes, putting the resources into research or upgrades to buildings puts the spent resources in a state of limbo. Until either the research/upgrade is completed or you cancel it, those resources are unable to be looted by potential attackers nor are the resources counted as usable. And technically, one does not need to be at top tier to pull it off. It's best to do it when you expect an attack or you are going to be off for a good while (i.e. going to sleep, so putting in 10 mil of each resource on a 10 day upgrade to protect those resources)
