The ball retains its frontcourt status until it touches/is touched by something/someone in the backcourt.

It doesn't make any difference whether the ball has FC status or not.
The rule says "if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt."
That signifies that the player is in the FC when the ball touches him meaning player status is the key, not ball status.
