I'll take a stab at it. The way I understand your question and the rule, Article 5 applies to someone that is setting a stationary screen. In other words, they must set the stationary screen in such a way as to allow proper time and distance for the player they are going to screen to be able to stop, or go around them.

I do not believe that article 5 and article 6 are interconnected, as Article 6 applies to a "moving screen," and the way I understand it, if both players are moving in the same direction, and the one in front stops and gets run over by the one running behind them, the one running behind is responsible for the contact.
