I suppose that last part is referring to a catch and carry situation.

Not totally on point. 8-5-K reads:
"When in the judgement of the umpire, a fielder intentionally carries, kicks, pushes or throws a live ball from live ball territory."
The sitch in the OP has the fielder in dead ball territory, picking up a ball in live ball territory. But like NCAA 12.13, while not a "perfect fit", 8-5-K could work, absent any other pertinent ASA rule.
Effect would still be an award of two bases for all runners from the last base touched at the time the player in DBT touched the ball in LBT?
