My understanding is that the Warehouse ticket allocations are a 2 step process:

1) The WH decides who is confirmed or denied for tickets, and at what price tier. This is completely random, and seniority does not matter. Thus a 2016 account can get confirmed for the highest (best) price tier, and a day 1 member can get completely denied - it's totally random. Of course, opting out of consideration for lawn or lower price tiers reduces your chance of getting confirmed for tickets.

2) Among all of the people confirmed at a given price tier, the WH allocates tickets. For some shows this is random and for some shows this is done by seniority. The Warehouse announcement was simply clarifying that for this tour the N1s were random and the N2s were seniority. So a 2016 member who gets confirmed for lower level on N2 should not have as good of seats as a day 1 member who is confirmed for lower level on N2.
