i do not understand your logic.

let's try to show the case

   666.42.0.0/16 has a roa for as 777
   666.42.1.0/24 has a roa for as 888

an announcement comes for 666.42.1.0/24 originating from as 999.  are
you implying that it should be marked valid?  i sure don't want it to.

an announcement for 666.42.0.0/16 from as 777 would still be valid.

so i am not sure what your point is.  please clarify with a concrete
example.
