Speaking ASA
The rule of thumb was that if a runner not affected by the OBS was between bases when the ball was ruled dead due to the OBS runner being put out, s/he would be placed on the base to which s/he was closest at the time of the dead ball being declared. IOW, if R2 was closer to home when B5 was tagged, s/he would be awarded home. If not, back to 3B.
It used to be in the rule book/manual, but I cannot find it (assuming it is still there).
