Depends on what you mean by "intercept".

The scheduler will preempt execution of lower priority threads with higher
priority threads. There are some cases where the priority of a thread gets
increased by the scheduler to prevent inversion or deadlocking, and a thread
has a quantum, so it might not run to full completion if it takes a long
time (> 50ms) and there is another thread at the same priority waiting.

Can a high priority thread intercept a lower priority thread in the middle
of a function ?
