Disclaimer: I called HS BB in CA in the 2012-13 season, so I can't remember for sure, but....
I believe the mercy rule kicked in when a margin reached 30 or more any time in the 4th quarter. Once the clock started to run, it didn't cease to even if the margin came back under 30.
This was a CIF rule, so it should have been applied universally. But at times I'm sure it gets forgotten about, which might explain why you saw differing applications.
