That means that although law would otherwise outlast heaven and earth, IT DID PASS by John's ministry! This is contrasting the power of John's ministry in contrast to the normal state of something outlasting heaven and earth.
That is not what Jesus meant. LEAST in the kingdom means he is out of there! It means he has NO HONOUR in the kingdom. It actually means he has no place in the kingdom.

The the Law as a binding covenant with the nation of Isreal was until John. The moral authority of the Law remains. Sin is still transgression of the Law.
