No way I would have called OBS there, but what do I know?

The runner slid directly back into the base and didn't appear to have been obstructed in his return. Didn't seem to alter his path, either. The OBS had to have been called on F3's right foot/leg, but I didn't see more than inconsequential contact there.

At most, it's one of those calls that might be technically correct under a literal reading of the rule, but it's not the correct "ballpark" call. Overofficiating.
