It means that on normal circumstances, damage reduction through blocking cannot exceed 90%. But for some odd reason, Nikana can bypass this rule by having 94% damage reduction instead of the normal 90% for all other weapons. The 94% value for Nikana, and the 90% value for all other weapons, was reached when testing against a level 105 Ballista.

I hope that clears it up for you.
