On-Call Escalation Notification

I am playing with the Override user preferences setting for the On-Call Escalation notification.

 

If I have a user set their own notification preference, I can see it created an entry on on_call_user_contact_preference.

 

Then if I set up a "manager" override user preference, I see it created an entry on cmn_rota_contact_preference.

 

Then when I trigger the escalation, the user's own preference takes precedence over the "manager" preference. Should this not be the other way around?

 

How do I ensure the manager's preference is override the user's own preference?

I followed the above but it still does not take manager's override preference into consideration.

 

Here's some example screenshots:
1) Set up override preference

2) Set up user's own contact preference with a personal phone number and personal email
