That's correct, with the addition that there are some checks that
generally produce more false positives than others and aren't
currently/cannot be done too robustly; in those cases I nowadays
personally tend to make messages for new checks warnings even though the
actual thing complained about might be a severe error if it's not a
false positive.

There's also quite a bit of historical baggage whose error/warning
classification rationale is unknown to me, and may no longer be quite
optimal as upstream rpmlint is no longer Mandriva specific.
