It's not talking about highest stat, it's talking about highest rarity. As in an artifact version of an accessory will have priority over a ring version of an accessory. Updated page to hopefully make this a bit more obvious. The moral is you can only have 1 of each type of accessory count (no matter it's version).

As far as your issue I have no clue; I assume the order they are in your backpack that controls which stat is used for equal rarity items (and maybe backpack takes priority over talisman bag).
