It seems obvious, but I seem to have heard the PU always takes the foul side of a rundown. Is that only in 2 ump?

Look at it this way; once the PU goes to 3rd, and U1 covers home on the rotation, which one is functionally the PU?
For all and any reasons you heard explaining why the PU needs to be on the foul side, those same principles apply to U1 covering home in the rotation.
