The text I added was basically aimed at specifying that bad things can happen if you drop RTCP packet type X (whether X is an XR report/block or something else) and then you let the next packet of same type X through instead, without some logic/criterion/adaptation behind it. I can definitely add the statement you suggested if you believe it can remove the ambiguity from the meaning of the paragraph. Thanks!
