It's implied by the fact they state only small number of specialized titles should be allowed to go higher.
The difference between seeing that as a "cap" vs a "baseline" is the specific implementation of the the terms "small number" and "specialized."
I have to admit that the way Amazon phrases it in the OP smacks more of "cap," but I really believe it's more of a negotiating tactic than what Amazon really expects to do, so that they can later be seen to make compromises in favor of the publisher and show what fair and easy-to-work-with partners they are.
I expect it will end up being more of a baseline.
