The RAS aren't blocking oil from dripping on to the lobes, just just looks like it was starved of oil.

I'd pull the oiler tubes and flush them over a strainer to see what comes out. Make sure they are extremely clean. As stated, replace cams and rockers as necessary and clean the head thoroughly.

Definitely looks like clogged oilers. They are just tiny pin holes, doesn't take much. Especially if the oil is not changed on a regular basis.
