No harm no foul, IMO. That's exactly what the QB is taught to do - see that guy flying off the corner and step up to use his momentum against him. OBJ was protecting Thuney's outside shoulder and just wasn't able to get out in time. Not the end of the world; he wasn't lost in space.
Hell, Mahomes reacted so smoothly to that blitz there's a decent chance that PM put OBJ into that protection with a little slide call. He very easily could've intended for exactly that scenario. "Just make sure that 3-tech doesn't kill my step up lane and I've got the rest". It would explain why OBJ looked at the 3-tech before getting deep.
That's a play that we just can't really draw conclusions from, IMO.
