My thinking is that this should have been a violation. The 5 second call stops the clock and creates a dead ball situation? The person inbounding the ball should be restricted to the designated 3 foot throw in spot?

It isn't the "deadball" that creates a spot throw-in, it's that the throw-in isn't after the opponents scored or were awarded a basket.
If "three steps" means that neither foot was on or over teh 3' spot, then, yes, this shiould have been a violation.
