S7 routinely cancels tickets. Would EC261 apply?

My firends just told me about a mind boggling rule S7 applies to bookings (including ones paid for and ticketed). They are cancelling tickets when booked by the same passenger for the same route within 4 days from each other. I couldn't believe it fiorst, but here's a link to their FAQ.
Wonder if I book flights TXL-DME-TXL on, say, 7 and 10 of September, pay for them and then they cancel one, would EC261 apply? If so, would that be considered denied boarding or flight cancellation? Anyone has an opinion?
This has actually got me so curious, that would even consider doing the trick and then, if S7 deniws compensation, put them through ADR/ODR and SCC.
