By definition, a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator cannot be predicted like that by a computationally bounded attacker.
Thus if any attacker could deduce the next number from /dev/random by observing the numbers before, the algorithms they adopt is fundamentally wrong, and nothing could the save the security in that case.
