So if sv_rcon_minfailures 3 and you make a mistake and get banned. your going to wait the amount of time you got banned before you try to access your rcon again ?
If that happen to me i would use FTP to remove the ban , or the web interface to remove it from the mysql DB. After the 2nd atemp to enter rcon. if that didn't work, i think it would be a good idea to double check the server.cfg for the rcon vers making another mistake. Again this not to start an argument, but to only understand why.
