Or the oven is set to convection and the fan is blowing it.

This is the real answer and it explains why the others are pushed to the outside, because the fan is in the middle and blows straight down. Air fryers have similar functionality

Aren't most convection fans at the rear of the oven? They don't spin fast enough to push food this hard and are generally low speed fans. It's just there to circulate the air to keep a more consistent temperature and not strong enough to blow food around.

Also none of the crumbs are moving/blowing around. Steam wouldnt generate that much force for any period of time. Steam escaping tends to lead to bursting.
