I took that statement to mean they can't even attempt a landing on the next couple of launches because there will not be enough residual propellant for landing.

And then the next statement, I assume, refers to the next launches where they can attempt a landing.

EDIT: my assumption is confirmed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_launches

Next up are flights 11 and 12, which can't be landed.

Then 13 has the "low probability of success".

Funny that you cite Wikipedia, which is citing... the link that this HN discussion points to.
Yeah, I actually made that particular edit to Wikipedia about 20 minutes before seeing it cited as a _verification_ of that article, here. Funny to see one of those infamous internet self-confirmation loops get established in near-realtime...
