Here's what's happening:

spam-use-BBDB and spam-use-BBDB-exclusive (case 1)

- only mail from people in the BBDB is not spam

spam-use-BBDB (case 2)

- mail from people in the BBDB is ham, all other is unclassified

nothing (case 3)

- no classification is done

spam-use-BBDB-exclusive is on top of spam-use-BBDB, it does not do
anything by itself.  Also, keep in mind "unclassified" is a third
category apart from "ham" and "spam."
