Does this sign indicate the obligation to yield to a vehicle approaching from the left at an intersection?

Correct answer
NO
Explanation
Sign D-48 "change of priority" does not set right of way itself - it only warns that the rules at the nearest junction have changed, and shows the new rule with symbol A-5 or A-7. Here the sign shows A-5, that is an uncontrolled junction of equal roads. At such a junction you give way to a vehicle from the right, and a vehicle from the left gives way to you. So the sign cannot create an obligation to give way to a vehicle approaching from the left.
The Regulation on road signs and signals specifies that D-48 warns about a coming or recently introduced change in the rules of right of way, and the new rule is shown with sign A-5 or A-7. Who you give way to is decided by exactly this rule combined with the rule from the Road Traffic Act: at an uncontrolled junction of equal roads the vehicle from the right has right of way, and when turning left, you also give way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction.
Legal basis: § 59 and § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
