You need to read the rules.

In the second situation the FPSR was in effect, therefore according to FED rule 8-4-2runnrs return to their TOP bases.

In the first situation read FED rule 3-3-1n. If the malicious contact occured after the run scores, then the run counts and the player Ejected. If the Malicious contact occurred before the run scored, then we have an out and an Ej.

Two different set of circumstances with different rules applying.
