The rule regarding the running lane says that the BR interferes with the fielder taking the throw, not the throw itself.
In other words, the throw must be a "quality" throw that the fielder should catch if the BR is in the running lane.
If the catcher (in this case) throws the ball over the fielder's head so high that it could not be caught, the BR did not interfere with the taking of the throw.
