Could also be that there isn't anything stopping a high level Kindred from converting again a lower level one.
Think about it: it isn't because he is already a Bloodfiend that he can't be injected with blood from a superior.
If a human can be turned into a 6th kindred by a 5th kindred and a human can be turned into a 3rd by a 2nd then nothing should theoretically stop a 2nd kindred from reconverting a 6th kindred into a 3rd kindred.

Yes, but remember how La Manchaland had a bunch of people above him? And he managed to flee from there, under belief they'd get severly pissed if they found him (they didn't, they understood him but the point is he did that independently, leaving them all to suffer, whereas even Sasha was willing to die for him). He can resist the filial love.
