While driving home I was trying to think of all the ways in which the player who made the last out and the player scheduled to bat last could be different:
Last out made on force play at any base other than first.
Runner caught stealing
Runner other than batter-runner out for interference.
Runner out on appeal.
Batted out of order.
Can you think of others?

Why would you think of others when its not applicable to the rule?
The umpire was incorrect in asking for the "last out".
You ask for the last person who completed their at bat, no the last out.
