11(c) makes it sound like if you were an RJ FO transitioning and upgrading to be a CA on the EMB-120, they may elect to return to their previous position (the RJ for you) and frozen for 12 months.
What am I misreading here?

Unfortunately, you have them mixed up. Any FO to any CA is upgrade training, which would fall under 11a. 11c is a little more complicated, since if I remember correctly, it barely even applies to SKW. SKW, I believe, trains all it's jet captains on all of its jets (since they're all CRJs) and gives you differences trainings. However, let's pretend that they only trained you on the CRJ200, and you would have to bid a CRJ700 slot. The training to the CR7 would be transition training.
To summarize, upgrade training=upgrading to a CA position that you don't already have a class of ATP for.
Transition training=upgrading from one jet to another jet or one turboprop to another turboprop (well, I might stand corrected on this, not sure if they're treated differently). To give another example; if SKW got 170s and a jet CA bidded a 170 CA slot, he/she would go under transition training.
