I think it's best to think of it as an entry-wide x-ref (a feature that will probably be added to JMdict: NG).
I've reindexed that sentence and chosen a new one for sense 1.

I don't think the antonym cross reference to sense 1 of 低い is right.
As I wrote last year in the entry for 低い:
  "Right now it seems we have
   低い[1] <-> 高い[2,3]
   低い[3] <-> 高い[1] (and possibly 低い[2])
   低い[4] <-> 高い[4,5]"

The current priority example sentence indexed to sense 01 of 高い seems like it should be sense 03 instead. It's definitely not high/tall.
  銀行はリスクの高い顧客へのローンには高い金利をつける。
  Banks charge higher interest on loans to risky customers.
