You make the call

How do you figure there was less opportunity? If the award would have been 2B, there is no OBS to address once she passed that base.

Because your first answer was, "Once the ball becomes dead for any reason, I'm hesitating to see any reaction by the runner (as to return to touch the missed base). If none, I accept the appeal and rule the OBS out." I didn't read that you would announce the award in that case, which was my main point of contention with your statement.
