No, that would break rule 16.1

16.1: When a right-of-way boat changes course, she shall give the other
boat room to keep clear.

If a windward boat is already between the right of way boat and the RC, she would not have room to keep clear. Therefore, the right of way boat would break rule 16.1. Team Race call C2 deals with this exact situation (the calls are interpretations of the rules by ISAF).
