So, I've looked at the code and I believe baseline means that as a floating average, if the number exceeds the value over the predefined period, it will go into baseline alarm.

The problem with it, today anyway, is that it requires to read the RRDfile on every polling pass, which for real large systems, might limit scalability.

Also, I have not tested ;)
