Haven't read the judgment; but in nomenclature the previous verdict has been "Upheld" and is now subject to review if SCOTUS grants Writ of Certiorari, meaning at least 4 wish to hear the case.
Process in very, very simple terms:
FYI: A "Stay" is issued as a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) on acting on a specific action. The original "Stay" here was that the Federal District Court found enough damage that immediate and irrevocable harm is taking place. To alleviate that an immediate stay must be put in place to avoid said harm until a court has ruled as to whether it is legal.
Fed argues there isn't irrevocable harm being done or they have a cause to do such.
District court: Stay is granted.
Fed Circuit. Stay is upheld.
This is where we are right now.
Writ of Certiorari is asked for: (Will you hear our case on the Temporary Restraining Order SCOTUS?)
-> If yes, court rules either overturning decision or upholding it.
-> If no, Circuit Court is upheld. TRO stays in place for near future.
Down the line: Someone sues as to the actual constitutionality of the EO if TRO is overruled; or new EO with different language.
