Because both teams have a legitimate claim to the pick. It's my version of 'cutting it in half'. The other 29 teams would have a reasonable beef (though I doubt any would really care) if they got bumped down a slot due to the creation of a new pick (so moving it down a round mitigates that).
The weird thing about this condition is that it was an all or none. Normally conditional picks move forward or back by a round based on XYZ (but that also ties up 2 picks until its resolved).
