I don't believe this to be correct. If the umpire believes 3rd is the award, then the runner is protected to 3rd and that protection isn't going to go away. The play is not over until the OBS runner is put out or it is obvious all play is complete and over. Simply reaching any base safely does not end the play or protection.
Maybe I just do not understand the wording
