Is that consistent with the explanation given regarding 10.3.C?

I don't find it inconsistent. Again, no ruling is being changed or call delayed; after the third out, only the OTHER team can bat. Nothing else happened as a game situation that can be ruled on until they change sides; so no following pitch has yet been made.
