What about if a pitcher attempts a pickoff at second base but steps directly towards third base and throws to second.

OBR 8.05
If there is a runner, or runners, it is a balk when_ (c) The pitcher, while touching his plate, fails to step directly toward a base before throwing to that base; Requires the pitcher, while touching his plate, to step directly toward a base before throwing to that base.

Sounds like a balk to second to me?
