OK I see what you're getting at. If K had punted on 3rd down and the ball came back behind the LOS untouched and K recovered and was downed behind the LTG, the next down would be 4th and we would start on the ready. OK, now the question is, should the clock stop at all in this scenario?
I can't find any reason to have stopped the clock in the first place

That is correct. No reason to stop the clock in a lot of cases. The problem is that lot of the time it is. Don't make a big thing out of it on the field (save it for the bar afterwards. Just start on the RFP, unless it makes some kind of big difference ie: the clock would have run out.
Somerimes it is because of fouls, etc. that make the RFP the proper place to start it again.
