Looking at the code in storage_backend_rbd.c it looks like if both are
specified, only usage is taken into account:

if (pool->def->source.auth.cephx.secret.uuid != NULL) {
    virUUIDFormat(pool->def->source.auth.cephx.secret.uuid, secretUuid);
    VIR_DEBUG("Looking up secret by UUID: %s", secretUuid);
    secret = virSecretLookupByUUIDString(conn, secretUuid);
}

if (pool->def->source.auth.cephx.secret.usage != NULL) {
    VIR_DEBUG("Looking up secret by usage: %s",
              pool->def->source.auth.cephx.secret.usage);
    secret = virSecretLookupByUsage(conn, VIR_SECRET_USAGE_TYPE_CEPH,
                          pool->def->source.auth.cephx.secret.usage);
}

I'll send another version shortly.
