The first part says somebody "on final" has RoW. The second says the
lower aircraft "approaching an airport for the purpose of landing"
has the RoW. Is the second part clarifying or contradicting the first
part?

I'd say the second part clarifies it if 2 a/c are about to land. The a/c on
it's 5 mile final will most definitely be at a higher altitude than the one
who is at pattern altitude and is about to turn onto final. This reads to me
that the a/c already in the pattern has ROW over the a/c on a long final.
