Basically, priorities have only effect on tasks contending for the processor.
Ada 83 RM says someting like: If two tasks are runnable at the same time on a processor, it cannot be the case that the lower priority task executes while the higher one does not... Priorities should only be used for fine-tuning.
Since then, this basic rule has not changed, but has been modified by the presence of multiprocessors.
So be careful.
