Further research yielded this play from May 2017 Rules & Clarifications:

Play: R1 at 3B, R2 at 2B and one out. F1 throws the third strike but it gets away from F2. R1 scores as the throw from F2 to F1 goes into the infield. R2 tries to score and is thrown out at home. B4 initially watches the play at home and forgets to run. B4 is thrown out at 1B for the third out. Does R1’s run count?

Ruling: No runs would score due to the batter-runner being called out prior to reaching 1B safely as the third out. Rule 5, Section 5B[1]

This makes more sense to me and seems to be more in line with the stated rule. But there's a difference in the start to the scenarios. In the OP, there are 2 outs. In the recent example, there is only 1 out. Does it matter?
