I agree. How about changing "Instead, some domains will inherit their DMARC

hierarchy" to "Instead, domains which have a DMARC record will use that as the
DMARC policy record even in cases where the Organizational Domain is a parent
domains one level or more above them in the DNS hierarchy"? There's no case
where there's a policy for a domain, that's the org domain and then a higher
level domain in the tree is used for policy. I think this more correctly
describes the distinction.
I don't think that Instead to be appropriate in the new phrase. Also, b
eware of the plural: "Is a parent domains".
What about:
The relevant DMARC record for these purposes is not necessarily the
DMARC policy record found in DNS at the same level as the name label
for the domain in question. Domains which have a DMARC record
will use that as the DMARC policy, but in other cases they will
inherit their DMARC policy records from parent domains one level
or more above them in the DNS hierarchy.
It still has the confusing "policy record found at the same level"... I'd opt
for a plain sentence like so, for example:
DMARC provides for looking for a policy record in the parent
domain(s) if none is found at the same level as the name label
for the domain in question.
