I don't believe it does. That's just a statement of fact. I'm sure the OP (and me too), is interested in not only the "why" but the operational implications of the multiple MDAs. How do I use that chart in the cockpit to do my approach, what minima is actually applicable to me and what special requirements, over and above the normal NPA procedures of not busting any steps, are applicable, if any?
Exactly.

From initial inspection, I can’t see why if you respect the crossing altitudes, be it by traditional or electronic means, you can’t use the lowest minima. The approach is depicted in a very similar way in Lido. It reminds me of when you sometimes have VNAV and LNAV/VNAV minima that are different: if you can use both, you can pick the lowest, which could be either of them due to various technicalities in the way they are calculated.

The “how” is just as important, if not more so, than the “why”...
