Not a violation.

>From the beta spec:
 "Programs may have a subdirectory of /run; this is encouraged for
programs that use more than one run-time file. Users may also have a
subdirectory of /run, although care must be taken to appropriately
limit access rights to prevent unauthorized use of /run itself and
other subdirectories." [1]

The rationale here  is that media mounts for a seated user are part of
that users run-time, or session.
By placing them in an area exclusive to the seated user, the system as
a whole is more secure.

$ findmnt  /run
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/run   tmpfs  tmpfs  rw,nosuid,nodev,seclabel,mode=755

Unlikely.
