You dont give details of what terrain heights are between the 2 units - but why are you surprised a unit higher (enemy at 10) could fire on your infantry (5)?
Ground heights are given in units each 10 of which are considered a hill contour ( a hex at ht 27 is higher than one at 23 although both show on the map as a level 2 hill).
a "bump" in the ground has to be at least 4 units high to block LOS. How far beyond the "bump" you are hidden/"in the shadow" of the hill depends on the depth of the hill as stated in the third paragraph you quoted.
The terrain between your enemy and yourself would have to be 4, or more, units higher to provide cover.
