Given your last line, you probably didn't want me to write this, but...

No advantage at all.

If a back row player for the "defense" is doing the blocking, it would similarly be a BRB for them. If the setter were a front row player, it would not be any back row attack/block violation, either.

You are comparing apples (front row blocker) to oranges (back row setter).
