The theory here is a shockwave caused by a "magnetic reconnection, where magnetic field lines break, reform and connect with other nearby lines", which is the same process that accelerates plasma on our own Sun. There's nothing to specify these particles were "orbiting" anything. But yes, it does appear to suggest that these particles did not enter the black hole before entering the "jet" and being expelled.
