Ohh, nice readability.  Perhaps a few refinements:

A URI that points to the next in a series of Feed documents, each representing a segment of the same feed. For example, in a reverse- chronologically ordered series of Feed documents, the 'next' URI would point to the document next further in the past.

-1 because each of the feed documents may not represent a segment of the same feed. That's one potential use case, but it's not the only one.
+1 to Robert's version.

-3 to being that generic. Surely, even if we can only imagine one method of paging through a single feed and thus aren't concerned about conflict for use of the "next" link, "paging", if you can even call it that (okay, so maybe you're not calling it that), between feeds using the same link relation as paging within each of the feeds is not just allowing for the possibility of conflicts, it's actively inviting conflicts.
