Timing is everything


Need to read the rule but in baseball the ball determines obstruction. In your scenario, it's not obstruction unless the ball does NOT beat the runner, IMO of the rule. In other words, if the fielder does get the ball ahead of the runner, it is not obstruction. The umpire makes the call at the moment of contact. If the the rule is written otherwise, it's a bad rule.
