The whole idea of a Flyby waypoint is that you don't overshoot the desired track after the waypoint. Instead the aircraft will 'anticipate' when the turn needs to be made in order to smoothly roll out on the new track. This actual point will depend on many things, such as aircraft speed, wind speed/direction, size of turn, FMC algorithm and database coding (leg type and track terminator) and a few other things probably as well.
