I believe the rule you stated has to do more with catch and release.
Two different plays all together. Tag out and force out.

I did not quote a rule, and a play on BR at 1B is not a force.
Under JEA this subject is covered under TAG - "unlike a catch, a legal tag is based on the status of the ball at the time the runner or base is touched and not on the final proof of possession. So tagging a runner and tagging a base are similar, and unrelated to voluntary release of a CATCH of a batted ball.
