OSPF - Lowest IP address in OSPF is used as forwarding address on ASBR

I was labbing some NSSA today and I was wondering how the OSPF ASBR chose the forward address since it seem to appear on the opposite side of traffic flow. Example:

R3----SW1----R6

SW1 is the ASBR (redistributing it's loopback). Traffic was flowing through R6, but the address pointing to R3 was the "forward address". It doesn't really matter as long as the link is in OSPF but it can impact metric calculations since SW1's interface cost to R3 will be included.

I did a short search on GS and RFC2328 but could not find anything. I had a guess it was the lowest IP in OSPF on the router and it turns out that is right:
