Well, Cecil, if "on base" equal "runner" then isn't the sentence "all runners on base" redundant?
If all runners must immediately go forward or backward, then we are back to what started this thread - what happened to the stop?
IMO, what the writer should had said is "runners that are stopped (when the B-R touches 1B) must immediately move forward or return to their base."
A runner that is stationary off the base when the LBR comes into effect has had their stop. They must immediately move; they can not stop again. The LBR comes into effect when the pitcher has the ball, or when the pitcher has the ball and a walked batter touches 1B.
