This line:
"For further clarity, if Club A trades such a Player to Club B and Club B signs the Player to an SPC,such Player will be exempt from the application of CBA 13.23."
Also makes it seem like the player is exempt from rule 13.23 which states they much clear waivers, if they change teams.

That line specifically mentions only via trade. In short, the player would transfer from team A's reserve/RFA list to team B's before being signed.
The "a club" language is the crux of the debate. It is wildly vague, but that clarifying note strongly implies that the intent of the rule is that a team must own the rights to the player first. Signing another team's RFA away doesn't count.
