Where's the rule backing for this, as opposed to waiving B6 in as we wait for A6?

I don't think there is either. in rule 3 and elsewhere you can't call a timeout once the replacement time starts running. player must be replaced. also, if the player being replaced was going to shoot FTs B6 can't come in until the last FT unless he was at the table prior to the need for replacement.
Maybe you are thinking of these. As you know, its good practice to wait to avoid table screwups but i don't recall a rule saying it isn't allowed.
