G43 Clarification

I'm fairly new to First and am a little unclear about the wording of the foul for G43 -

Violation: FOUL. For every five (5) seconds in which the situation is not corrected, FOUL

Does this mean that contact that lasts for just a second or 2 would not be a Foul? It would be "corrected" (i.e. drive away) in under the 5 seconds which would appear to be the threshold for the Foul to be called. If not, why the wording which includes the 5 second count? I recall in 2014 refs counting out the "pin" times before calling the Foul, is rule the same or different?
