Ah, are you saying you should use your prior to choose a policy that maximizes your median utility, and then implementing that policy, rather than updating your prior with your observations and then choosing a policy that maximizes the median? So like UDT but with medians?

Ouch! Sorry for not being clear. If you missed that, then you can't have understood much of what I was saying!
