Yes, R2 is now closer to home, but R2 is also closer to 2B, as well.
Was R2 physically ever past R3?

Then the question is, Physically past with respect to what?" I would say with respect to the advance base. If a BR overuns first base by 15 feet and R1 is only 10 feet past first toward second, this is not "passing a preceding runner." But if he rounds first like the J/R example and is closer to second (and scoring) this is physically past.
What say you SA?
