So, in Fed, B/R running outside the running lane to first base, a throw from F6, over the F3's head, could result in interference? (In Fed, the throw does have to be a quality one).
Doubtful.

In FED, if (a) the BR is out of the running lane, and (b) the BR is "between" the thrower and F3 (or whoever is at first), then a poor throw is presumed to have been caused by the BR and the BR is out.

The requirement in (b) is not met in your play.
