You are right that no priority 10 jobs will get run while there are higher priority (lower number) jobs running.  To run jobs in parallel they need to be the same priority.

However, to some extent you can control the order using scheduling.  Kick off the important jobs on the hour and the less important ones at 5 minutes past the hour and I believe they will maintain that order in the queue.

Cheers,
