You might want to read RS #38. IMO, the purpose for this rule was to not hold bases available from the trail runner, but to avoid the trail runner's position from pushing a preceding runner to a base not awarded.

In the question offered by jmkupka, both runners would be awarded home since two bases were available to both at the time of the throw.
