If I remember correctly, when SOD used the passing points a few years back for a few years, it was where the car was from the draw. So, if you are 6th, and get moved to 4th, you start in 6th per the points. This would be the same if, let's say, the pole car wishes to drop to the rear, for whatever reason. He could not claim starting in the rear. He is given the pole to start.

Although, in theory, passing points is a great formula, especially when qualifying doesn't occur, it complicates things WAAAAAAAY too much for the average fan. Just use the "top x cars advance". Keep it simple.
