The double-base only applies when there is a play on the BR. 8.2.M

The BR must use the colored portion, the defense must use the white.
Two, AND JUST TWO exceptions:
1) If the throw or play to first is coming from foul territory on the right side, or
2) If a throw from another part of the field draws the defender into foul territory.

In the case where one of the two exceptions occur, the BR may, MAY use either portion of the base.
speaking from attending the advance camp this past week. The national staff was split down the middle on this (in terms of the defense) while all agreed that if the throw pulled F3 off the double base completely and into foul territory , F3 could return to the orange portion of the bag before BR to have an out. However, the split was when F3 was pulled off the white portion to the orange portion of the bag without losing contact with the double base. There was some debate among the 6 staffers and know real consensus.

But IMO reading the letter of the rule, the orange portion of the bag is in 'foul ground', thus no difference if contact with the double had been lost.
