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.

The fact that they say there are outliers means there is no cap.
It's clear to me that what they're saying is that instead of having the majority of new releases priced at $14.99 they should be priced at$9.99. Same principal as today but a different price point.
