Zevachim 23: Ritual Impurity, Priests & Owners

The rabbis compare those who become ritually impure due to contact with a creeping animal with those who become ritually impure due to contact with a corpse.  What if a priest were ritually impure because of contact with a corpse and the owner is ritually impure because of contact with a creeping animal?  Does the priest's frontplate offer acceptance?

And what about a priest or an owner who become ritually impure because of a seminal discharge; a ghonerea-like condition rendering him a zav?  If he becomes ritually pure through time and immersion and then develops ziva again,  he would have been impure retroactively.
