If the question is whether the catcher being in foul ground affects the rule, it does not. If the BR was inside the lane and the ump called it based on the BR having to get out of the way of a foul ground throw by moving out of the lane, that is wrong. The only exception to the lane rule is avoiding a fielder fielding a batted ball.

The only "rule" (non-NFHS) affected by the source of the throw is the double-base.
