By this logic, is it saying that when the ball becomes dead, you return the runner to the last base touched as with most dead ball situations?

If so, does this not work to the disadvantage of the offense by not allowing a runner to advance? To me this goes against my feeling on obstruction that any benefit of the doubt should go to the offense.
