Unless I'm reading the above incorrectly, this rule does not apply to the situation. The player was not withdrawn due to an injury, nor illegal equipment, etc. The player was replaced in a legal substitution. I believe the game is now live and any substitution before the ball is made live for the inbound is allowed.

Are you reading from a 2001/2002 rulebook, or older? The language of R3-3-4 has been changed to "A player who has been replaced, or directed to leave the game....". Injuries are now dealt with in R3-3-5.
