You would only do it this way if the second spoke clockwise from the valve is one the drive side of the rim, and you use that as your key spoke.
In this situation, you could also instead put in the NDS pulling spokes first, then install the drive side pulling spokes one hole clockwise from them. Same difference in the end.

Putting the NDS spokes in first is an easier way to explain it, indeed. At any rate, the spoke orientation always winds up in the wrong place if I follow Sheldon's article when building a rim of said design.
