An appeal should not be upheld. The OBS caused the miss. The umpire can impose any penalties which would nullify anything which happened as a result of the OBS. If it is judged that the runner would have touched the base without the OBS(i.e. OBS occurs at the base and the runner passes the base) and the runner has passed the missed base, then no appeal should be upheld as a penalty to nullify the OBS.
So, runner misses and passes the base which the miss is caused by OBS, then the appeal is not upheld. Simply b/c the runner would have touched it without the OBS and he has already passed it.
