He needs to yield because he is entering the roundabout in the right lane, and a car already in the RAB in the inner lane will be crossing over the lane with no car in it, in order to take the next exit off the RAB.

study that diagram. It is the crux of this entire thread.
cars in inner lane may (indeed will eventually be forced to) CROSS OVER the outer lane to make their exit.

They are not supposed to change lanes in the RAB and then exit from the outer lane. No. They are to cross over the outer lane to make their exit.
