The instantaneous RF difference between the tropopause and TOA is the instantaneous forcing on the stratosphere RFs1; if the TOA forcing is smaller than the tropopause forcing, then the forcing on the stratosphere is negative, which means that the stratosphere will cool (this doesn't necessarily mean it will cool everywhere, but the equilibrium response to negative stratospheric RF requires a negative PR+CR response — being the stratosphere, at least in the global time average, CR can be approximated as zero).
