On a pickoff play, the fielder almost NEVER puts his foot on the base. Hell, it's not like it's a force play.
If a runner comes in standing up when a throw BEATS him, and that runner places his foot on the fielder's foot (and the fielder's foot isn't even on the BAG!) ... the runner is out!
That's the expected call.
That is quite different when, on a force play, the runner beats the throw but the runner actually steps on F3's foot instead of the bag. Then I would agree with Rich's comments.
