I wish I knew more details, but I think both penalties were not blatant disregard of the spirit of the rule? Or at least the small bit mentioned on the broadcast made it sound that way. I think Logan was on track near pit exit while someone else was exiting the pit. I think there was an issue of location on track (actually pit exit) and Logan traveling faster than the car exiting the pit that caused his problems (other car actually was ahead). Ricciardo passed someone to reset proper order (or so he thought) after he mistakenly though he had been accidentally passed.
