That isnt saying "if the [civilian] has by any other lawful means come into possession blah blah", its saying "if [the protected information, see the first sentence of the section] has come into possesion of [the police]", ie if the police have obtained the information lawfully (eg as sanctioned by section 22 or by lawful non-statutory methods), then they can impose a disclosure requirement.

(1) This section applies where any protected information (...)

If any person with the appropriate permission under Schedule 2 believes, on reasonable grounds-
(a) that a key to the protected information is in the possession of any person,(...)
the person with that permission may, by notice to the person whom he believes to have possession of the key, impose a disclosure requirement in respect of the protected information.
