I think you made the right call.
Remember that the "skunk in the outfield" play is legal: Runner on 1B stands half way out to the right fielder in taking his lead. If the defense begins to play on him, his basepath is the direct line between him and the two bases he's between. As he runs on those basepaths, they keep edging toward the direct line between the bases.
The rule book is misleading, I admit. I think it assumes that the runner is in a direct line between the bases to begin with.
