Not necessarily.

I believe the scenario in the OP defined the status of the ball as fair w/ no fielder having a chance to make a play.

The ASA version of this rule is 8-8-M: (The runner is not out...) When hit by a batted ball while in contact with a base, unless the runner intentionally interferes with the ball or a fielder making a play.

There is no mention of if the fielder was positioned in front of or behind the base (at 3rd, in the OP).

Can you expound on the "not necessarily" comment? I might be missing something.
