I fully respect the potential bees nest that I am kicking here, but I attempt to do it politely and with as little extra narrative as possible.
The three images below show the conversation I had via email with the FAA and the NAR. Surprisingly, the responding FAA member is also a member of the NAR. I've redacted the FAA member's, Paul, number as it's not mine to share, but I can say it is one of the lower NAR numbers I've seen.
I am in no way saying that you can do whatever you want. The RSO has the final word, and other laws and regulations are always applicable.
tl;dr - as I understand it, if the RSO says its good and all other appropriate regulations regarding field size and safety are met, LPR and MPR are allowed to fly as high as conditions permit regardless of the waiver that is imposed on HPR rockets flying the same field. Each flight is evaluated independently; the waiver is only needed and applied when appropriate.
