In the guides, what defines a high quality portal / pokeparada?
It says that nominations within private residential property are not eligible. but looking at the forum it says that wayspot even outside private residential property is ineligible.
How are the rules for requesting wayspots inside condominiums and factories? Did you have any changes too?
And when will they update the guides on the pokemon and ingress sites?

If you are referring to objects on the outside face of security walls or fences that surround private residential property, that is still part of the property. Private residential property doesn't end at the inside surface of the wall, but extends all the way out to the street. The home owners still owns and maintains the wall.

Private residential property is defined as a single family residence. Apartments, townhouses, and condominiums on the other hand are multi-family residences. While the inside of each individual unit is still considered private, the common areas are not. Thus any object in the common areas are eligible so long as they meet the criteria.
Wayspots are also fine at factories so long as the location does not interfere with the factories operations. For example, an object next to the parking lot or outside the main office are perfectly fine while an object in the production area or where heavy machinery regularly operate may be invalid.

TheFarix gave you the correct feedback.
But to add to your additional questions- swimming pools are often not eligible unless they have some kind of historic or notable quality (ie: an Olympic swimmer once trained there). Public/community Pools used to be mostly eligible, but Niantic changed the guidance on this last year.
But eligible objects within something like a campground are completely fine (a pavilion, tennis courts, mural, things like that). Having to pay/have membership somewhere does not disqualify a POI. POIs do not have to be accessible to absolutely everyone.

There are more "rules" than just what makes a high quality portal/stop. most of these can be found on the wayfarer page help section and the older ingress ama archives.
prp is only for single family residences. so condos or factories are not prp.
What about structures in the middle of a private camping club (mobile home or not) : as the swimming pool for example. According to me, as not campers may get in, it’s ineligible. I’m right ??

I decided to do a test, I asked to exclude 1 graphite, in private residential property, in a club, in a condominium and a factory.
The answer I received, about graffiti on a wall in a private residential property, was denied. I will not appeal the decision, because I think it is valid graffiti on a wall of a private residential property, against which I am against, there are two weights and two measures to assess the exclusion of access points.
Those first reports are almost always denied. Sometimes I wonder if a human being even looks at them or if it's just automated. It seems like 90% of the time, you have to appeal.
