I was mostly wondering what the catch even could be. Let's see:

Runner running legally is impeded (tripped, even if inadvertantly) by fielder not in possession of the ball. Next base has no defender covering.

What's the issue? Boilerplate, isn't it? Cannot be out between these two bases!!

You might argue if pitcher or left fielder where in the process of covering that third base as an award isn't a given; but OBS surely is.
