That looks right to me. In order to comply with section 2 of the contributor terms and contributor must be able to grant an extremely widely drafted licence. If the contributor is merely a licensee under CC-BY-SA they will not be able to comply with section 2 of the contributor terms. I also think its pretty clear that, in context, section 1 would not be complied with either. It would be impossible for a CC licensee to agree to "You have explicit permission from the rights holder to submit the Contents and grant the license below." since CC-BY-SA does not give that permission.
