From what I have read of the servers that support server push and configurable prioritisation, the priority of connection usage is often based using the resource type. For example see mod_http2's H2PushPriority Directive[1] or h2O[2].

I would anticipate that a client would be well within its rights to reprioritise a pushed stream, especially if the server is not browser sniffing and just using a default (inefficient) priority. Examples would be bumping resources on the critical path, or vice-versa. However, I'm not sure how responsive the server would be to this, having already allocated its resources upfront.
