Is rejecting a reversal indicator?

Yes
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming βWow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Still somewhat baffled. Don't understand the role of the word "rejecting" and "two prizes" seems very specific to refer to the "pot" - maybe "all prizes"???

Rejecting is a reversal indicator, so you have Pot and Reward for prizes

Here's my take on it:
Two synonyms of "prize" are POT and REWARD.
Rejecting means to reverse their spellings to yield: TOP and DRAWER.
Upper class can be a defined as TOP DRAWER.
(Especially by the upper class.)
Rejecting meaning to reverse was news to me too.

The word literally means 'Throw back' in Latin.

The funny thing is back in high school I took a speed reading class. Half the class time was practicing faster reading and comprehension. The other half was learning Greek and Latin roots, suffixes and prefixes to be able to break words down into their meanings. It was that part of the class that was the most help to me in university and actually still is - when I apply it. When I read your reply I just went DOH! It's so easy to get into a rut. Gotta step outside that box for the CCC.

The answer came to me straight away, but I could not work out why until your clue.

Um ... what?
I understand all the individual words, and even most of the sentences make sense in isolation. But the overall message is missing me completely.
