The advancement of the throttle has nothing to do with it. Shifting gears is what stops the engine from cranking. The ignition system is not involved. Depending on which box you have you either have a button you push down while advancing the lever for faster throttle in neutral. The other style you pull out on the shift lever and advance the throttle I think. I may have this confused with the concealed side mount controls. In any case the neutral start switch is hooked up to the yellow/red stripe wire which goes to the starter solenoid to activate the starter. When the control box is in gear this connection is broken. Hope that explains it.
