I'll stand with Steve on this. With the photo and information provided, an OBS call is NOT imminent.
This is not an unusual path for a runner, even some which start the play at 3B. To avoid being hit in fair territory by a batted ball, many runners advance on the foul side of the line, often by more than 3-4 feet.
Unless the runner's hand is prevented from touching the plate by the catcher, or the catcher moves and blocks the runner prior to receiving the ball, there is no OBS call on this play.
