The cited rules allow a mistaken failure to follow suit to be corrected before the trick is completed and put away. Later players may then reconsider their responses in order.

Stop as soon as you notice the held suit. Quietly swapping a card after the next trick starts is not the same procedure. Clear correction protects everyone from planning around a false void. Agree on the applicable penalty rules before play, since casual tables do not all handle mistakes identically.
