The phrase you mentioned "for a given level of sound" is the sticking point. Yes, if you have a high nominal impedance speaker putting out the same level of sound as a lower impedance speaker when both are driven by the same force (2.83V for example) - then clearly, the higher nominal impedance speaker is more efficient. But they need to output the same level of sound. Again, we're back to the definitions:
Efficiency - ratio of acoustic energy output to electrical energy consumed
(decibels to watts)
Sensitivity - ratio of acoustic energy output to electrical force applied
(decibels to volts)
