When does accepting a more-specific prefix for the IXP LAN cause a black hole for connectivity to the IXP LAN?

Network Engineering

RFC 7454 ( "BGP Operations and Security" ) says: When a network is present on an IXP and peers with other IXP members over a common subnet (IXP LAN prefix), it SHOULD NOT accept more- specific prefixes for the IXP LAN prefix from any of its external BGP peers. Accepting these routes may create a black hole for connectivity to the IXP LAN. Let's say, that there is a following network topology: As seen on the drawing, the router named as30-r1 is connected to IXP LAN with network 10.81.80
