HTTPS in any form would not stop Cloudflare from doing what you describe.

Think about it, an encryption system that stops an end-point server from passing decrypted data to somewhere else is basically impossible. It would mean finding a DRM scheme that actually worked, and we know that's impossible because of the analog hole.

The only way to stop this would be for the end-point server to be unable to decrypt the data ever, but still manipulate it. That's called homonorphic encryption and it's still only theoretical.
