The application of the metric is done at the time of redistribution not after. Remember that the router already knows of the route and has it in its routing table it is just in a "different language"(protocol) than the recieving protocol understands so a translation is done. This in concept is redistribution. Remember that the route must be in the routers routing table before it is redistributed. Also if you look at where the command is applied (under the recieving protocol) you will notice that although it is call redistribution the routes are actually imported by the recieving protocol form the routing table then has the metric changed. I think it should have been called "route importing". But that is just my opinion. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong
