The out doesnt matter, the thing that matters is that live ball play continued past the expiration of the clock, a play was reversed on dead ball appeal, and, according to some of you, the clock adjusted to the play.

That's just it - it's
not a dead ball appeal. It's not an appeal at all. It's "going for help." You're interchanging those two things. The example previously given on going for help on a check swing after runners have advanced and a run scored disproves what you're insinuating. It doesn't matter what occurred between the batter offering at the pitch and the umpire ruling swing - the swing, and subsequent 3rd out occurred before any of that happened.
