Thus, to stop its announcement from being propagated by ASes 1, 2, and

won't that prevent 12654's announcements from being received by, as
opposed to propagated by, 1, 2, and 3?
More or less. Technically, unless sender-side loop detection is used,
the routers in 1,2 and 3 will receive the announcement, but discard it
because it contains the local AS. However, the path will not be one of
the candidates for route selection, so it will probably not appear in
the output of a query for the prefix, which amounts to much the same.
