Yes, this should be re-worded. This is actually a FAQ.
(I remember more sentences like this exist, that especially for
non-English speakers might be difficult to interpret.)

My proposal would be:

If a recipe exists in multiple layers, the recipe with highest PV
*from the layer with the highest priority* is selected.
Be aware that recipes with the same PN in lower priority layers are
thus not selected, *even if their PV is higher*.

Regards,

Leon.
