Exactly - that restriction is there to prevent the same topic from being bumped repeatedly. Say you only have 2 topics that meet the rest of the criteria (open, visible, not pinned, etc.), and configured 4 topics to bump daily - the 2 topics will each be bumped once, then not bumped again for at least 24 hours. Without this setting the two topics would be bumped every 12 hours (in the case of 2 topics with a bump setting of 4).
