I am not finding your qualification.
You could have a runner thrown out at home and still have one or two other runners advance on the same play.

Relevant quote: Rule 9.13 Comment: The Official Scorer shall not charge a wild pitch or passed ball if the defensive team makes an out before any runners advance. For example, if a pitch touches the ground and eludes the catcher with a runner on first base, but the catcher recovers the ball and throws to second base in time to retire the runner, the Official Scorer shall not charge the pitcher with a wild pitch.
The Official Scorer shall credit the advancement of any other runner on the play as a fielder’s choice.* If a catcher drops a pitch, for example, with a runner on first base, but the catcher recovers the ball and throws to second base in time to retire the runner, the Official Scorer shall not charge the catcher with a passed ball. The Official Scorer shall credit the advancement of any other runner on the play as a fielder’s choice.
