This is true for hierarchical "nested" jails = jail inside jail.
And inheriting doesn't mean merging.
You can't allow devices in descendant jail which are not allowed on parent.

You are mixing nested jails context with jail.conf context where 
"outside" definitions are the defaults for all jails which are not 
overriding those values with own values.
