contradicting or not

Rule 2 -5-art 1 –b
A fair ball is a batted ball which: b, contacts fair ground on or beyond an imaginary line between first and third base

Rule 2-16-art 1 a
A foul ball is a batted ball: a which settles on foul territory between home and first base or between home and third base..
This brings up a situation that could happen especially with the new turf fields.

Batter hits a ball with back spin which first hits beyond this imaginary line between first and third, spins back and settles in foul territory. By rule you could call it both ways or am I missing something here.
