The original ballot was over the imposition of changes not whether the changes were contractual or not.

The court action was started for the alleged breach of contract from your quote.

Unite the union is to take legal action to stop British Airways’ plans imposing contractual changes on crew without agreement.
The challenge, in the High Court, is over the imposition of contractual changes, including the reduction of crewing levels, which BA said it will force cabin crew to work to from 16 November. Unite is seeking an injunction against this imposition.
The High Court hearing is currently set for Thursday, November 5th
This action is separate to the ballot for industrial action which Unite announced this week it is intending to carry out.

Bassa can ballot again over the same reason - imposition. The judge took issue with the ballot process rather than the reason for the ballot.

IMHO!!
