Lots of our topics are YHTBT, but I prefer to go with what I visualize while reading the question, so I'll asume no juggle and no ground contact. The comment
"F3 has one foot on white bag as ball is thrown. BR collides with F3 as F3 catches ball. F3 holds onto ball and goes to ground in pain."
sounds to me like the BR is out either because F3 was still on the base for the catch or because the interference was why she wasn't.

The "F3 did not "bring the ball up after the catch"." sounds like a TV rule, i.e., the commentator said something about showing the umpire the ball or bringing it up and this newbie took it as a rule. It's a shame that the coaches (or players) have to teach umpires the rules.

The other issue is whether the BR gets to spend the rest of the game in the dugout for the crash. There is no penalty as such for not using the colored base (treated as a missed base), but there is for using the white and colliding.
