The OP was clarified by this:
"As part of the play, F4 had come across the base toward F6 / third. R1 slid toward the fielder, not in a direct line to the base. If F4 had caught the ball, it was a textbook FPSR violation by R1, whether or not there was contact. Does the fact that F4 dropped / deflected the ball change this and is contact (or not) relevant?"
I believe the caseplay justifies calling a FPSR violation on this attempt.
I agree with what you say about defensive error causing contact.
