The full version of "4th highest" is usually - in the UK at least - "4th highest from length to an honour, second from a poor suit" which makes the 'book' lead the 4 from 642 and the 2 from Q62. Another popular version is "4th from length to an honour, highest we can afford from low ones" which measn the 6 from 642.
Which is the correct lead on a particular hand depends on your hand and the auction.

I think french methods work pretty well here
-from 642 - 6 (highest from XXX) - the reason is to be easier for partner to read the lead from a weak holding
-from Q62 - 6 - trying not to lie the length. Of course partner has to figure it out

"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
