What constitutes a invalidly signed route more exactly?

Would a signed route by a signer (ISP) who's status has been revoked
by an entity in the RPKI-hierarchy-of-trust above (for whatever
reason), be considered invalid?

For example, if the Egyptian government orders an entity situated
somewhere in the verification trust-chain to revoke the trust-chain
for some prefixes below, because it prefers these prefixes to not be
reachable by anyone, that wouldn't be very good, would it?

Not seeing the upside of that model at all.  Why would anyone want that?
