Expert Reply:
The Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337 will fit the OEM crossbars on your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon but it does require at least 57" between the center of the front crossbar to the line where the roof and hatch meet for you to be able to open up the rear hatch without interference.
I'm not sure what that measurement is for your Outback Wagon but if you have less than 57" for that hatch clearance then I recommend going with a smaller cargo box like the SkyBox NX 16 # Y95AV which only requires 47" for that hatch clearance measurement.
