"I still doesn't make any sense to me, but "
I was that way until I got to thinking, we don't have a "look back" rule in slow pitch so what do we do if one runner is stopped with the ball on the mound? We call time and send him back. Since we have called time any other runners who hadn't reached a new base would have to be sent back as well. As for basing it on the time of the catcher's throw I guess the rational is much the same as on an overthrow.
