Now wouldn't that make the hump worse, since you starting with it on
the outfeed, going to the middle, stoping, and flipping, and doing the
same thing again?


Let's makse sure we're talking about the same crooked board. If you
stand it on edge on a flat surface, does the board rock or does it
touch at each end?
If the board rocks, the method I described will work to make it
straight.

If the board is crooked the other way, then you start in the middle of
the piece (or the high part of the hump) run one end. Turn the piece
end for end, start again from the middle, and run the opposite end
same edge.
