But yeah, I'm not about to claim that I know that to be correct.

You seem to be making the claim that their can't be live ball awards and therefore this can't be a live ball award. But a walk is a live ball award and it doesn't engender the problems you're concerned about so I'm not sure why this would be the case.
With the DDB signal, you announce there will be a dead ball at the end of the play. At that point you announce any awards, which may be impacted by the actual result of the play (hence, you cannot announce them before the play ends).
