man spamassassin

See the Configuration Files section there, pay special attention to the
part that reads "Default configuration data is loaded from the *first*
existing directory in" and the following list. Emphasis added.

Also most likely documented in quite a few other places, including the
SA wiki. I'm aiming for the low hanging fruit here... :)

Seriously doubt that. Unless you either didn't restart spamd or a
similar daemon after sa-update, or didn't run sa-update after the rule
has been fixed.
