Mercy Rule

When the Mercy Rule is worded "a differential of X runs ANYTIME after 5 innings", if the visiting team goes ahead by X runs in the 6th or 7th, does the home team get their at bat? I say no, since 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 6.2 are all AFTER 5 innings. If it said "a differential of X runs after 5 or mote completed innings", the home team would bat if they were trailing.
