You're interpreting the profile correctly. It has this recommendation
in the Channel section:

"All item elements SHOULD appear after all of the other elements in a
channel."

http://www.rssboard.org/rss-profile#element-channel

As I recall, the reason for this advice is that some RSS consuming
tools have trouble with channel elements that appear after item
elements. They don't look for them, because the programmer made the
incorrect assumption that no channel elements can appear after the
first item.
