I had always interpreted L2 in the manner of your suggested correction, but
perhaps the language could be clarified.

Surely if the quotation is meant to be right to left the RLE and PDF should
be outside the entire thing, including the quotes. After all the intention
is for the quotes to match the text is it not?

Have you perhaps misunderstood <sor> and <eor>? They are imaginary things
inserted at the run boundaries, not a role undertaken by an actual character
inside the run.
For the above I make them as follows:
> text: R RLO whatever PDF N LRO whatever PDF
> embedding level at step X9: 1 3 3 1 2 2
<s> <e><s> <e><s> <e><s> <e>
> directional type at step X10: R R R R R R R R ? L L L L L
In particular at the start of the level 1 run in the middle the highest
level on either side of the boundary is 3 so the direction of the <sor> (and
the preceding <eor>) is R. At the end of the run the highest level is 2 so
the <eor> is L as is that of the following <sor>.
The Neutral has a conflict of directions surrounding it so it takes the
embedding direction which is R.
