No, not really. It's pretty simple.
$ LC_ALL=C bash -c 'locale; printf "\\nEnvironment variable: LC_NUMERIC=%s\

LC_ALL overrides LC_NUMERIC, as explained in the POSIX reference I sent.
Setting LC_ALL doesn't change LC_NUMERIC.
Environment variable: LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.UTF-8
Setting LC_ALL=C actually switches the locale keys but not the
corresponding environment variables.
Correct. More precisely, LC_ALL has higher precedence than the other
LC_ environment variables, so its value is reflected in all the
locale categories.
But setting LC_NUMERIC=C sets the environment variable **and** the
corresponding locale key
Yes, according to the precedence.
