Ah, okay. Got it.
I think you studied RFC2597 harder than I did :-)

I agree with your summary.

I believed at the time that AF1x would have priority over AF2x, etc.
but that's not the correct.

So, some of the zero-touch response traffic can be induced by an attacker,
but there is a point where the JRC knows that the node is legitimate, and it
can switch from AF43 to AF42.  That point is just prior to the transfer of
the voucher, which is a ~100 byte object from JRC to pledge.
