If matching "Final" for the last line is OK, try
Code:
awk '
NR == FNR       {TR[$1] = $2
                 next
                }
FNR == 1        {CITY = $3
                 for (n=split(PLINES, TMP); n; n--) LINES[TMP[n]]
                }

$1 == "Final" ||
FNR in LINES    {$2 = TR[CITY]
                }
1
' FS=: file1 FS=\| OFS=\| PLINES="1|2" file2

MODERATORS(5)							File Formats Manual						     MODERATORS(5)

NAME

       moderators - mail addresses for moderated Usenet newsgroups

DESCRIPTION

       The  GetModeratorAddress(3)  routine  reads  the file /etc/news/moderators to determine how to reach the moderator of a newsgroup.  This is
       used by inews(1) when an unapproved local posting is made to a moderated newsgroup.

       The file is read until a match is found.  Blank lines and lines starting with a number sign (``#'') are ignored.  All  other  lines  should
       consist of two fields separated by a colon.

       The  first  field  is  a  wildmat(3)-style pattern.  If it matches the name of the newsgroup, then the second field is taken to be a format
       string for sprintf(3).  This string should have at most one %s parameter, which will be given  the  name  of  the  newsgroup  with  periods
       transliterated to dashes.

       Here is a sample file:
	      foo.important:announce-request@foo.com
	      foo.*:%s@mailer.foo.com
	      gnu.*:%s@prep.ai.mit.edu
	      *:%s@uunet.uu.net
       Using the above file, postings to the moderated newsgroup in the left column will be sent to the address shown in the right column:
	      foo.important	  announce-request@foo.com
	      foo.x.announce	  foo-x-announce@mailer.foo.com
	      gnu.emacs.sources   gnu-emacs-sources@prep.ai.mit.edu
	      comp.sources.unix   comp-sources-unix@uunet.uu.net
