A scenario that is close to what you describe:
1) The caller calls the called party.
2) The caller is notified that CCNR is available.
3) The call is redirected elsewhere.  Receptionist, voice-mail, someone else...
4) The caller hangs up.  (The call may or may not have been answered.)
5) The caller activates CCNR.  CCNR is for the original called party only.
6) When the called party becomes available, the caller is notified.
