Pop fly between F5 and F6 about 6-7 feet from 3B. Ball lands between players and appears to be on the outfield side of the baseline. Thanks to the unique contour of the field, ball then rolls in front of 3B into foul territory.

Ball is never touched by a fielder, until it's in foul territory.

Ball is ruled fair.

If a batted ball first lands beyond first, second or third base in fair ground then it is a fair ball. Landing on "the outfield side of the baseline" satisfies that requirement, no matter where it goes after that. This would be a fair ball.
