If that's true (and it wouldn't put it past them), it's a bug.  The
Administrator's Guide is explicit that frequency is the winner here:


Backup frequency determines schedule priority

If more than one automatic schedule is due for a client within a policy,
the backup frequency determines the schedule that NetBackup uses:

* Jobs from the schedule with the lower frequency (longer period between
  backups) always have higher priority. For example, a schedule with a
  backup frequency of one year has priority over a schedule with a
  backup frequency of one month.
