In the game that this happened, it was not ruled PSK because K was in posession when the down ended - but is this not just a technicality since, if no foul had occured, the ball will be awarded to R just like if the ball had rolled OOB or stopped in the field of play with no player of R or K attempting to posess the ball.
2-16g5 states "And K does not have posession of the ball when the down ends and will not be the next to put the ball in play". If you say that K's recovery of the ball caused the down to end, that supports the argument that this would not be PSK enforcement.

The key to the last point of PSK is not that K possessed the ball, but that they will not be next to put the ball in play. If K downs the ball, PSK is still in effect as long as they will not be putting it into play.
