Not true. The 3' lane has ZERO, NIL, NADA, ZIP, no bearing on this play.
If, in the umpire's judgment, F3 was THE fielder who was most likely to have a play on the batted ball, it is interference.
If, in the umpire's judgment, F3 was not the primary fielder on the play, it is OBS.
And where it happened on the field is totally and completely irrelevant to this particular scenario.
