Now if this happened on a force play, you MAY have a violation, if you judged the runner interfered with the catch. Otherwise you have two people showing at the same spot on the field and it is , what it is.

You WILL have a violation. FPSR requires the runner to slide legally or avoid the fielder on a force play, which he did neither. Double play under FPSR.

This may be straight forward if the F6 had received the ball and is in the act of throwing, but remember that didn't happen here. Both players were at the bag at the same time and the fielder was waiting to receive the throw.
I would most likely have to see this, before I WOULD flat out say it was a violation.

The runner does not slide or avoid, ie he went in standing up and made contact with F6, that's textbook FPSR, if force was in effect.
