The instruction doesn't sound correct to me......right orbit, report back on final. Surely it should have been........return to base leg, orbit until further advised.

One orbit in present position back round to final could put the pilot in direct conflict with the following traffic. Dangerous stuff and I would have requested a return to base leg.

I speaketh from experience of having received such (very rare, but had one this year) requests.
