The relavent part of the man page is:Each package may be pinned to a specific version and each Packages file has a priority for every package inside. The
*highest* priority assigned to a package is the one that is used. So if your default rule pins everything in testing to 900 even if you pin a specific version to a low number, low number < 900 so 900 is used for the pin-priority for the package/version.
