I'm not sure just what you're asking.
The runner must be beyond the base to have missed it.
And of course to get an out the defense must appeal the missed base.
By rule -- and at every level -- a missed base appeal at a base to which the runner was forced remains a force play, with everything that entails. You have the citations.
