I had a Jemico strop (pretty much the same thing) and as I recall I treated the leather with the yellow "paste". It isn't really a honing paste so much as a leather conditioner, and provides no abrasive properties.
It isn't likely to *hurt* the leather to treat it IAW the instructions, at any rate.
