Applying a firewall rule to a wireless access point (or switch)

On my network, I have different “MAC host” defined for my various devices which I associate with firewall rules. I use UniFi managed switches and Apple Airport wireless access points on my network which also have a “MAC host” defined for them and are associated with a firewall rule.

My question is, let’s say I have a computer associated with firewall rule #1 and a wireless AP associated with firewall rule #2. This computer is connected to the network via the wireless AP. In this situation, are both firewall rule #1 and #2 settings/policies being applied to traffic going to/from the computer since it’s connected to the wireless AP? In other words, is all of that traffic essentially being scanned twice (assuming I have malware and content scanning enabled on both rules)?
