Define "past."
If you mean "through or immediately by" then your ruling is correct -- R1 had a "reasonable assumption" that F3 would make a play, so isn't penalized when hit by the ball -- he had no reasonable cahnce to avoid the ball (iow, it's the same as if the ball were deflected).
If you mean (only) "farther from home plate", then your ruling is wrong -- R1 is still expected to avoid the batted ball.
