No, you are not wrong. The three different categories need to be taken separately and the FTs tallied up. However, if any of the bench leaving happens at approximately the same time, then those Ts get classified as simultaneous fouls and thus the FTs would cancel. That is the case in the cited caseplay. However, if B6 and A6 had come off the bench clearly with one following the other, perhaps in response to observing the other run out there and hit someone, then both penalties are assessed in the order of occurrence.
It is easier and probably better to consider them simultaneous unless they were obviously not.
