An idea: What if they simply dropped to the lowest position where they’d still be allowed to challenge for their old position? That would seem a fair compromise to me. Of course it still doesn’t address the issue of implicitly punishing their opponents who were hoping to move up before the timeout occurred, but yebellz’s proposal would handle that particular problem.
