The candidate either got 30%, or he got 50%
NOT BOTH.

Maybe you don't understand ranked choice.

If your primary choice ends up at the bottom, and nobody gets over 50%, the votes for the "worst loser" move to those voters second choice.

The totals are added again, leaving out the first round biggest loser and counting those peoples second choice.  And repeated until someone tops 50%.

It is an instant run-off.  And only the people that show up for the election, get to participate in the run-off.
