It would create a mess. The stage would be de facto canceled for the affected crews (they have to continue the stage in road-section mode when a yellow flag is shown to them) but it would not be canceled de jure as competent body didn't make the decision to cancel the stage. In that case the crews would probably receive no notional times or at least a chaos would start. That's why the use of yellow flag in rallying is not ideal and in my opinion the rule shall be changed - for example by using two different flag colors. In this case I think they shall have slowed the next crews down by gesticulation.
