It’s a very unusual situation

And probably irrelevant here anyway as he appears to be onside anyway.

However, as you say, the law is silent on the direction the ball goes in, so it’s irrelevant

I’ve only ever seen it with short corners where the corner taker is caught offside when receiving the pass from his teammate - ball goes backwards but still offside
