Version 5.8.9 is not prior to 5.8.8, it is more recent than 5.8.8

Version 5.8.10 is not yet released, no assumptions about it can be made.
There is no way to tell if the first sentence's logic will hold for a firmware version that has not yet been released.
If the logic does not hold, then I will edit the sentence to include the exception.

It has happened before, where the protection against a certain jail break skips one or more firmware versions. That is just an artifact of Amazon/Lab126's build system and the way they maintain their changes.

One long standing example is firmware version 5.6.1.1 -
The build for PW-3 included downgrade protection.
The build for PW-1 did not (and does not) include downgrade protection.
(Different SoC device models and the DGA protection wasn't ported to the PW-1 build system. Mistakes happen. If Amazon was concerned they would release a 5.6.1.2 for the PW-1.)
Perhaps you should put jailbreak does not work on 5.8.8 and higher. That way people know for sure.
