Here is my understanding of this rule. A runner cannot attempt to return to a base that he has passed subsequent to the ball going out of play.
Example 1. R1 is between 2B and 3B when the ball is thrown out of play. He may return to touch 1B as long as he does not reach 3B.
Example 2. R1 is between 1B and 2B when the ball is thrown out of play. After this, R1 passes 2B and decides to return to tag up at 1B; this is not allowed.
