Keep in mind that conceptually, policy settings apply to an object name, not to various instances of that object. If you make a new backup changing the management class, it also changes the management class of the previous backups that have the same name. And so, all previous backups will abide by the policy settings of the management class of the latest successful backup. Paul's technique using two node names is really a good way to solve your issue.
