Help me out then how and when would that rule come into play?

biggravy,

It can only come into play on a missed base appeal when the runner was forced to the base he missed.

A failure to retouch appeal can never be a force out because the BR has been put out on the catch, thereby removing any forces.

Sorry, I can be incredibly slow sometimes. I'm still wondering if it's incorrect to score this run under FED.

9-1-1 Exception C says "A run is not scored if the runner advances to home plate during action in which the third out is made as follows: C. by a preceding runner who is declared out upon appeal because he failed to touch one of the bases or left a base too soon on a caught fly ball."

R3 is the PRECEDING runner and he was NOT declared out. A TRAIL runner was the one declared out.

No runner who came AFTER the third-out-runner can score. Those that preceded (came before him) can.

Good for you to be actually reading the rule book and asking questions about them. How refreshing!
