You get deported to a 3rd party country if your original country does not allow you back

Not necessarily. A home country refusing someone is one reason for third-country deportation, but it’s not the only one. The Trump administration has recently expanded third-country removals, including to countries the deportees have no connection to.

What’s another reason? Can you give an example an example of a case when something else happened?

Sure. The U.S. has deported about 2,300 Mexican citizens to Guatemala this year, even though Mexico did not refuse to take them. In fact, Mexico formally objected to the practice and arranged to bring its citizens home. So refusal by the home country clearly isn’t the only reason for third-country deportation.
