Sounds again like the tag was made before possession was lost - if so, OUT.

If the contact was simultaneous to the ball coming out (i.e. caused it), then for this to be OBS, the runner must be trying to advance. If the runner is trying to get up, around, anything, and F2 is still lying on the runner reaching for the ball, OBS. If the runner is just sitting there oblivious (or perhaps if this drop - reach - pickup action was very brief, and runner didn't have time to realize she needed to continue moving), then there is no OBS.
