You seem to be thinking about this slightly wrong. The standing from Sigil's and Syndicate Mission's are completely separate, they do not alter each other in any way. They are just added together at the end.

If you do like you suggest above and wear a Meridian Sigil while doing a Loka mission they will each give you standing independently. If the mission is for 4k Loka and you accumulate 2k Meridian using the sigil in mission then it will work out as follows...

From mission: +4k Loka +2k Perrin -2k Meridian -4k Suda : 4+2-2-4=0

From Sigil: +2k Meridian +1k Red Veil -1k Loka -2k Perrin : 2+1-1-2=0

Total: +3k Loka +1k Red Veil -4k Suda : 3+1-4=0

You can do this with any combination of Sigil and mission and the end result will always be no net gain. As I said above, the only way around this is to have a Syndicate bottomed out so that the negative can not do anything. For instance, if in the above example you already has Suda at -44k then it could drop any further and you would end up with: +3k Loka and +1k Red Veil.
