And now you start to see why Trump did not tell Barr that he was going to make the phone call, and why Trump was sure to mention Giuliani as equal to Barr while on the phone with Ukraine's President.  
The various prosecutors who report to Barr are free to form their own opinion about who should be arrested or indicted; the less Barr knows about Trump's political schemes the better. this is why we can be sure that the whole phone call is in the category of "political scheme" rather than "legitimate investigation into a question of US law"

A federal law enforcement source told Fox News that Parnas and Fruman were arrested Wednesday at Dulles International Airport in Virginia. Attorney General Bill Barr has been "aware and supportive" of SDNY officials and knew that both men would be arrested and charged Wednesday, a senior Justice Department official told Fox News.

Read my post, then read your post. 
No conflict between them.
To reiterate:
Trump and Rudy are unethically trying to get Ukraine's leaders to give them dirt on Biden.
Trump mentioned Barr to make his request sound legit, but really Barr is not involved and not intended to be involved.
Because
Barr's people actually make arrests when they see violations of the law
And because
Barr's guys only look where the probable cause and the evidence leads them
And because
Barr's guys are only trying to enforce the law, not settle scores
But mainly because
Rudy's contacts are super corrupt and Rudy knows it.
