Please see my demo: I've done exactly like you, except that in a second part, I'm switching pricelist item content:
Before: RULE 1 : Sequence 5 - Discount 25% on CatA RULE 2 : Sequence 5 - Discount 50% on CatB
After (by editing content): RULE 1 : Sequence 5 - Discount 50% on CatB RULE 2 : Sequence 5 - Discount 25% on CatA
As you can see the result is not the same at all !!!
