You're reading it incorrectly. In neither case do you move the ball following a loss of possession on downs. Don't get hung up on the forward tip of the ball being the spot. The position of the ball is what's important. We only use the tip of the ball for measurement purposes. It might be easier to think of the neutral zone. Both teams are restricted from entering this space and it doesn't move following a change of possession.
