Ah hang on. A knock on delay would be if your flight had been caught somewhere unrelated previously. So let's say you were in DUB and returning to London (where the weather was OK), BA could not use the weather in AMS to wriggle out of EC261. If you are an outstation without a BA fleet present and the the aircraft is stuck in LHR then to my mind the ball is still being passed backwards and thus in open play.
