The umpire ruled when the ball was dropped and went past the catcher, all runners tried to steal the next base, which meant 1st wasn't occupied, and that is why the BR wasn't automatically out. As I understand it, if 1st is occupied with less than 2 outs when the ball is pitched, and D3K occurs, the batter is out, correct?

With Less than 2 outs and first base occupied, BR is automatically out on an uncaught strike 3. However, the runners on base may advance at their own risk.
