Only if the conditions which allow the C to be there are met.
Other than that, I'm trying to visualize this play. If F4 threw from her normal position on the field and the ball hit the runner as she was touching the plate, the C must have already missed the ball UNLESS she was behind the runner's basepath. Then again, it sounds as if the C has no knowledge or experience in receiving a throw at the plate.
I believe this was probably a good "no call".
