Per my contact at Thule, the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier, part # TH834 will work great with the factory crossbars on your 2015 Outback Wagon.
This carrier can handle kayaks that are up to 36 inches wide and up to 75 lbs. The carriers also come with 2 tie-down straps and bow and stern tie-downs.
To make it easier to secure the tie-downs I recommend the Quick Loops, part # TH529. You just attach the TH529 to the tie-down and close the loop under the hood and one inside the hatch to hold it in place. This makes hunting for a good place to tie down the bow and stern much easier.
