This sounds like two rules getting mixed. The running lane rule has nothing to do with the double base.
A running lane violation occurs if the BR is out of the lane and inteferes with the play on the BR at 1st, either intentionally or not. The double base use has the exception if the throw is coming from the foul side of the 1st base line, then either player can use either side of the base. This might sound illogical or not following the intent of the double base; but it is just a situation that is not covered by the double base rule, so we end up with the same conditions as when there is only a single base. Neither rule is concerned with batted or not, they apply anytime a B becomes a BR.
