Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — they only govern sourcing: a sterile-compounding outsourcing facility must hold a Board manufacturer license and meet 21 U.S.C. 353b, and needs a pharmacy license only to dispense patient-specific prescriptions.
Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, an outsourcing facility is not required to be licensed as a pharmacy. An outsourcing facility may dispense dangerous drugs or controlled substances for identified individual patients pursuant to a prescription only if the outsourcing facility is licensed by the Board as a pharmacy in accordance with NRS 639.230 or 639.2328.

A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened.
