It's not clear indeed.
What about this proposal to simply reverse the two sentences.

      For the implementation-time use case: Capabilities SHOULD be provided by
      the implementer as YANG instance data files complying to
      [I-D.ietf-netmod-yang-instance-file-format]. In such a case, the file MUST be available
      already at implementation time, retrievable in a way that does not depend
      on a live network node. E.g., download from product website.
