In other rulesets, a ball carried out of play is a 1-base award from the TODB (reference a player catching the ball and then going over a wall). Sans a rule in this particular rulebook, I would be tempted to go for consistency here, and award 1 base from when the catcher left the field of play.

In OBR, runners only get a base if the fielder falls. Stepping out of play doesn't count.
5.10(f) "... If a fielder after making a catch steps into a bench, but does not fall, the ball is in play and runners may advance at their own peril."
