This is not how I read the draft at all. There are two separate paths, no?
client->server and server->client?

4.5.2:

This has no direct effect on reverse paths from this endpoint to the
   peer.  If the peer wants to direct the endpoint to abandon such
   paths, it should send PATH_STATUS(abandon) frames for the relevant
   paths.

So IIUC PATH_STATUS refers to the peer's CID/identifier, and
RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID refers to the sender's CID/identifier, so both are
necessary to tear down both ends?
