Could it be you're reading too much into this? As noted, 6-5-2 says, "The right of R to take the ball at the spot of firect touching by K is canceled if R touches the kick and thereafter during the down commits a foul or if the penalty is accepted for any foul committed during the down."
K, by commiting a First Touching violation, creates a right by R to take possession of the ball at the spot of First Touching. If (when) R subsequently commits a fould during the down, or any foul by either team is accepted the right to that possession at that spot is "cancelled", i.e. eliminated, so possession and location will be determined by the subsequent action because the special right granted by the First touching ceases to exist.
Both the right to the ball, and the location are granted by the First touching violation, when that right is cancelled NEITHER continue.
