That being the case, wouldn't all runners forced to advance as a result of a BB be considered moving to awarded bases?
If the response is "no", please explain the logic.

There is a difference between forced to advance (or more accurately ... allowed to advance without liability to be put out) and AWARDED.
The other codes are odd here, not ASA... Why would the other runners be AWARDED the next base - they are allowed to advance, and should do so...
