Yes, a phase reversal is produced by the change of current direction 
between the outside and inside surfaces of the loop shield. But carry 
your logic a bit further. There is a second phase reversal provided by 
the inductive coupling between the inner surface of the loop shield and 
the wire loop inside the shield. 
 
The wire loop is the secondary of a transformer. Induced and counter emf 
are 180-degrees out of phase with the primary or source emf. For 
graphics see Fig. 5-14 on page 79 of Robert l. Shrader`s "Electronic 
Communication".
