Sorry but you're misreading the rule.
The rule says "The clock shall start with the snap if the clock was stopped
because either team is awarded a new series following a legal kick." It doesn't say the clock starts on the ready if it was stopped
to award a team a new series. It starts on the snap if you
ACTALLY AWARD THE NEW SERIES. Otherwise, the end of the play dictates when the clock is started. Since this was a play that end with a run inbounds, and neither team is awarded a new series, the clock starts on the ready.
