The shoe is on the other foot - where does the guideline draft say that 
the permission to show OSM attribution only on a separate page under 
certain conditions depends on no other data source being attributed 
more prominently?

None of your two formulation drafts shown here states anything in that 
direction:

/If OpenStreetMap data accounts for a minority (less than 50%) part of
the visible map rendering, attribution with other sources on a separate
page that is visible after user interaction is acceptable. /

/If OpenStreetMap is not the largest data provider for the visible map
rendering, attribution with other sources on a separate page that is
visible after user interaction is acceptable./
