Yeah... and that's the point. The rule doesn't seem to say that a runner who has scored cannot assist a previous runner.

Proving a negative
It doesn't say that a runner which scored CAN assist. For that matter, it doesn't differentiate among all the participants, it just states that the runner cannot be assisted. Lacking specifications, I have to assume that if ANYONE assists this runner, the runner is ruled out.
