You might want to read RS #38. IMO, the purpose for this rule was to not hold bases available from the trail runner, but to avoid the trail runner's position from pushing a preceding runner to a base not awarded.

In the question offered by jmkupka, both runners would be awarded home since two bases were available to both at the time of the throw.

I did read it and concur. My reply allowed for the situation where a fielder loses possession of a ball on an attempted tag that goes into DBT.

I think I used the phrase "award bases as appropriate".

But yes, on a throw to DBT where both runners are between 2 & 3 at TOT, I'd award both runners home.
