Simple wash sale & disallowed question

If I sell something at a loss and immediately buy back in, I can’t deduct those losses from my gains…okay got it.

When I bought back in, and my cost basis is adjusted higher (to account for the previous disallowed loss), can’t I just ultimately sell these new shares at a loss and have those be a loss I can harvest?
