No, the answer is simpler than that.
Emacs simply doesn't support customizable priorities for bindings or key maps.  Minor mode keybindings shadow major mode bindings, which shadow global bindings, if I remember correctly.  I think the Emacs manual explains it (where keymaps are explained).

There's a low-priority keymap in osx-key-mode that I have created for this purpose - one could try that.

The alternative would be to dynamically determine the context menu so it would contain the regular context menu.  That one may be quite tricky (or unreliable).
