You were good up until this point. After using a held action, you
cannot go again until phase-10. That means if your initiative score is
15, and you hold your action until 6, you do *not* get to go again on a 5.
In fact, you won't get to go again this turn. The only way you would is
if you used your held action on say, and 11, in which case you'd next act
on phase 1.
Also note that this is using the SR2 initative rule, as the way
passes and held actions function is a little different in SR3.
