That is right, the tags part (where you use "someday")
is not a full tags matcher, it does not consider inheritance,
only local tags.

However, you can do this in the initial match.  Make it

  "+LEVEL>=2-someday/-DONE"

note that the level is >=2, not =2 anymore.

Alternatively, write your own skipping condition
`using org-agenda-skip-subtree-if'.

The docstring of that variable does describe what its value
needs to look like.  Is that not extensive enough?
