Wouldn't that mean there would always be a rundown every time a runner rounded a base and stopped and a fielder within throwing distance had possession of the ball?

I understand what you are saying. Definition needs to be tweeked a little. Better?
A rundown begins when a runner stops their advance to a base because fielder with possession of the ball is between the runner and the base the runner was advancing to and a play is attempted on the runner.
