If he touches the base first, then there was never a force out, no? He's already safe.
In instances where a tag is required, then I can see the differentiation. That's not the case here.
Or if Mesoraco slides, hits Martin's leg prior to the ball arriving, then agree again.
But because it's a force play, anything after the force out, IMO, should be irrelevant.
