We will rephrase the docs. It should be intepreted as following:

"If the polygons underlying ring_type is defined as clockwise, the exterior ring must have the clockwise orientation, and any interior ring must be reversed w.r.t. the defined orientation"

So both are compile-time defined as clockwise, the outer polygon follows the defined orientation, the inner is contrary to the defined orientation.

That is a rewording, but that doesn't change the meaning, so unless you plan to make a code change to the polygon model class template it still won't match the part in quotes above. Yes, both are compile-time defined as clockwise, which doesn't match the meaning of the the inner rings having reversed orientation to the outer ring (whatever that orientation happens to be.)
