According to J/R, in OBR the runners would be returned to TOP in this case.

If a batter-runner has not yet touched or passed first base at the time of interference, all runners not out must return to their TOP base...
For there to be "running lane interference", the BR cannot have reached/passed 1B at the time of interference.
