The "mandatory" label doesn't instruct anything about the segment before the fix, it's about the fix itself. And it's not "added by Jeppesen" as in Jeppesen invented it, it's there because the source data says to, unless it's a charting error. It's simply Jeppesen's presentation of a mandatory (instead of minimum, which is the common one) altitude, equivalent to the 5500 here, from FAA AeroNav charts:



A Jepp altitude with no note (#4 in Oggers' post above) is equivalent to the 2500 here, and is the common one (minimum, aka "at or above")
