Amit's explanation is correct. I just want to add that while the
802.11g stations will not drop to 11Mbps, their throughput will
definitely suffer.

You will see a somewhat similar effect in an all 802.11g network too
if one client moves further away from the AP and ends up at a low rate
like 6 Mbps. Everyone else will see a reduced throughput as a result.
