My understanding is that it means exactly that if, or when, payments due to the MLB are missed. So far that has already happened for the Diamondbacks and Padres, with the others of the 14 TBD and we'll find out over the next month.

...there's a good chance that Diamond's creditors eventually decide to drop some of the least profitable teams from the portfolio. In that case, MLB would need to step in. A league source anticipates that MLB will handle broadcasting for at least five teams in the very near future. So far, Diamond Sports Group has missed payments to the D-backs and, more recently, the Padres, triggering the contractual grace period that will probably lead to MLB taking over.
