The 3rd exit is the same as making a left turn. So you would need to be in the inside lane, just as you would at a regular intersection. You would exit from the inside lane.
ALL ENTERING TRAFFIC HAVE A YIELD SIGN and MUST YIELD TO YOU.
This explains how a person makes a left hand turn inside a traffic circle. (It by using the 3rd exit from which you entered the circle)
So, yes, YOU ARE CORRECT about continuous right turns, It is just that you need to enter AND exit in the proper lane according to the exit you plan to use.

This is the easiest way to understand a roundabout, and which lane you should be using to do what.
