Not so much disagreeing as academic discussion, does being able to go past the base allow more speed to reach it and therefore being hindered? I don't know that the rule specifically says "to reach the base"; just hindered or impeded.

Again, that might not apply to the OP.
It may allow the BR to approach the base faster, but a sharp turn off the base is still irrelevant to an OBS call or non-call.
