Easy - the difference is that you did not award a new series.
Simplify the situation. 4th and 8. Runner runs 5 yards , but there's a 5-yard foul on the defense. Clock stopped to administer the penalty (and for the apparent new series, just as in your sitch). After the penalty is enforced, it turns out there is NO new series (just as in your sitch). Clock on the snap or the RFP?
RFP, of course. Just like in your sitch.
