Your explanation doesn't support Haye's ridiculous claim.
Let me try one more time.
1. Because of Browne's legal issues, the WBA grant him the fight for the title.
2. The WBA then start at the top of the rankings, going down each fighter in descending order, until they find a boxer, who agrees to the fight.
3. Haye was above Briggs in the ranking.
4. Haye tries to make the fight, but doesn't.
5. Briggs is the next available boxer in the rankings. He wants the fight.
6. The WBA order the fight for the title.

You with me so far?
4 is incorrect.
Browne himself admits there were talks between the two camps, but neither party could agree. No offers were accepted on either side.
