The key phrase from your initial rule is this: Doing so allows the source Rule to ignore any of the restrictions found in the target Rule as well as specify restrictions or logic that are inconsistent with the target Rule. You thus say that the source rule can be inconsistent with the target rule, you have previously identified the target rule as a rule previous to the source rule. RO#6, as you point out, specifically says "inconsistent with ... previously posted valid fantasy rules". Your rule is thus attempting to overrule the ROs, saying that inconsistency is allowed, when the RO's quite specifically say it is not.
