I am relatively certain that if DL offered KL enough money for each visit, that KL would write a policy around DL's specific situation. But, query why DL would when as a competetive matter it's not necessary and the fees charged carrier-carrier for international lounge usage can be fairly steep.

Yes, assume that OP arrived on Skyteam international flight. OP only mentioned SkyClub membership not DM. SkyClub membership, if applicable, is not dependent upon arrival on Skyteam flight.
