She is covering a large portion of that base side with her feet. No orange base. The ball arrives before runner, but runner slowed a bit as she had limited space to touch the base and not a direct line to use to run through the base. It's questionable if she did not slow a bit, she may have beaten the throw. ASA

Did she slow down before the ball got between her and F4? If yes, it could be obstruction (HTBT - it is not uncommon for batter-runners to "give up" on their own if they think they can't beat the throw). If no, nothing.
