If the carom off R2 was caught in place by F4, would you rule “step and reach”?

Once it hits anything other than another defensive player (fence, runner, umpire, dirt), it is no longer "catch-able".

Def. of catch, B.2

That's why the OP says "Live ball, no catch"

The carom off the runner may be physically caught by another fielder, but it cannot be ruled a "catch".

Am I confused by what you're asking?
