Yes, 4.3 talks about "the Produced Work", but that is a reference to the beginning of the sentence, which says "if you Publicly Use a Produced Work..." A Produced Work is "a work (such as an image, audiovisual material, text, or sounds) resulting from using the whole or a Substantial part of the Contents (via a search or other query) from this Database, a Derivative Database, or this Database as part of a Collective Database." If what you call "a derivative of a produced work" constitutes "a Produced Work", then Section 4.3 and Section 4.6 apply to it. That's what the ODbL says, anyway. If you want to argue that you don't have to follow ODbL, because there is some exception to the Database Right and/or copyright, then this is a different question, which is jurisdiction specific and probably something that you'd need legal advice in order to get an answer.
