The question is - if the ball came from below and entered the cylinder hiting the rim does the shot clock reset?

I'll answer for NCAA rules because they actually have a shot clock and rules for it.
Two things:
1. The cylinder has the ring as its lower base. There is no part of the cylinder below the ring.
2. In order for the shot clock to reset the ball must strike the ring ON A TRY for goal. A pass or deflection or throw-in which hits the ring will not cause a reset. It is up to the judgment of the official whether the player was trying for goal or not.
