I don't believe this is true.

If C has taken some action, LEA triggered or otherwise, that means the RPKI 
system no longer asserts that G's intent for packet delivery is true, then 
merely allowing G to issue an RPKI assertion does not prevent C from asserting 
whatever they like, too.  If a LEA requires C to issue an AS0 ROA 10.42.2.0/23, 
then creating an ASn ROA for the same prefix, same maxLength will not ensure 
packets are delivered correctly.

Perhaps the underlying operational problem where A is not quite sure yet of C's 
status could be better addressed by section 4.9.4 of the CPS - if A has been 
convinced that G is the current holder of the resources, A could register the 
change of holding, but include in their CPS that they may provide a grace 
period for revocation on a case by case basis.

(If A has not been convinced that G is the current holder of the resources, 
then delivering packets to G for those resources would not be a positive 
engineering outcome, it would be deliberately mis-directing packets, which the 
RPKI is intended to prevent!)
