It means it establishes who the proper batter is immediately after what was the incorrect batter.
In your OP, the pitch to B4 made B5 the correct previous batter. The order to follow should have begun with B6. After B4 completed his AB, when the pitch was thrown to B6, B4 became the correct previous batter and now the proper order to follow would have begun with B5. Since B5 is on base, you correctly allowed B6 to bat.
What that phrase does NOT mean, is that the order on the lineup card is changed.
