However, the opposition's illegal motion penalty was waved off and the opposition was awarded possession and got an additional 15 yards and a first down.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the home team should have received possession and lost 15 yards from the spot, right? Because the play was blown dead, there should have been a turnover.

Without trying to sort through your post:
When K runs OOB with the ball on 4th down, their series is over.
It's now R's ball. Any foul that occurs now is assessed and R's gets the ball, 1st down.
