if you just want to be sure that your catalog job runs after higher priority jobs pick a prio 10 for the higher prio and a 20 for the lower ones. The start times are ok with 23:10 for high and 23:15 for low prio. Now remove the MaxStartDelayAfterSchedule limit and set it to 0. That works for me in Bacula 2.24-7.
