What resources are you concerned about? Are you trying to load-balance the work across the two applications (i.e. you're concerned about CPU and about pre-allocating messages to a particular application), or are you worried about running out of space in the brokers' message stores? Or something else?
If you're concerned about filling the message stores (since you mentioned PFC), then yes you do need to configure policies on Broker 3 as well. But I didn't follow the final bit about percentages for Broker 1 and Broker 2.
