Then you must be descending through the rising column of air.

Not necessarily. Visualize that I begin my turn over a field where
the air is rising slightly. The rest of my turn is over another area
(lake perhaps) where the air is static. I am not descending through
the rising column yet I manage to hit my own wake because it was held
in place.
