It can happen because the rules are different.

In FED the ball is immeduiately dead on a balk, thus none of your three things mean beans.

In OBR, which LL uses, the ball is delayed dead. Then, if the ball is pitched and the batter AND ALL runners advance safely at least one base, the balk is ignored. If the condition is not met for any reason, the the balk is enforced.
