So in looking up force outs all possible force outs (by their definition) are removed on a caught fly ball. Found another site talking about this as a commom misconception. It seems strange even though the runner has only one option to go back and tag but it does make sense for the rule to not cover bad baserunning.
It's true that no run can score under any circumstance where the final out is a force out but the caught fly ball removes the force outs completely. Runners aren't "forced" to leave the base, instead they make that decision and judgment so it does make sense.
