As pointed out in a previous question's answer, you may be forced to play an Outpost or Possession while you are possessing someone else's hand, despite the deck's owner getting to play the Outpost/Possession hand and not you.
However, Outpost creates an ambiguity. Outpost's rules say to play another hand immediately after this one. However, due to the Possession, the player's normal turn has not yet taken place.
Does the player take their normal turn next or the Outpost turn next?
The turn Outpost is referring to is "this one", the Possession turn. Outpost doesn't really care what turn it was played on.
So during the clean-up phase of the Possession turn, the possessed player will draw 3 cards instead of 5, and immediately take their Outpost turn.
At the end of the Outpost turn, the originally possessed player will draw 5 cards as normal. Turn order then returns to where we were before the Possession was played, so it's now the possessed player's turn (finally!) and they take a normal turn.
So your opinion is correct.
The Outpost card has the text "This can't cause you to take more than two consecutive turns" on it. I thought this would mean that the player who had been possessed would not take another turn after the outpost turn, but apparently (according to isotropic) it does not, even though that player takes three consecutive turns, one when he is possessed, one from the Outpost and one normal one.
