If the missing spot generates the third out in the prior inning, the following spot is leading off the tiebreaker inning. The runner is the preceding batter that is in the game, not to fail to have a runner.

My post was about when the shorthand out did not happen in the previous inning, should have clarified.
My point was to
confirm that in the case of the "out player" starting an inning; the preceding player in the order goes to 2nd; which make the "out player" lead off the inning with an out. The words "
do not call an out" can mislead some.

The wording seems intended for that situation and is clear for it.
