You can configure brace-list-intro in c-offsets-alist for this.  At the
moment, you've got

    (brace-list-intro . +)

, which is indenting the 3} one level in from Foo.  The entry

    (brace-list-intro . (first c-lineup-2nd-brace-entry-in-arglist
     c-lineup-class-decl-init-+ +))

has been the default in gnu style (and several others) for some while,
now.  The pertinent part of this is the function
c-lineup-class-decl-init-+, which would indent the 3} one level in from
the "a" in the line above.

Alternatively, you could use c-lineup-class-decl-after-brace, which
would line up the 3} under the 2 in the line above.  This give a neater
alignment when it is known there aren't too many long field names in the
initialisation list following the colon.

Both of these are described in the CC Mode manual page "List Line-Up".
I think one of them will give you what you need.  Would you please try
amending your style configuration, and confirm it fixes the problem, or
tell me how it falls short.  Thanks!
