If any other fielder had the chance to make an out HAD THE BALL NOT contacted the runner, the umpire can judge the act as interference, though, like Dakota, it's going to have to be beyond a shadow of a doubt the defense would get an out before I make this call.

I disagree. How many chances should the defense be given to make a play?
I say ONE.
In this case BR is out on the IFF call. F6 had ample opportunity and missed the catch. Ball bounces into runner. I say play on. I can't possibly reward the defense for missing the pop fly and send the game into extra innings.

You may disagree, but it isn't your option which rules to enforce or not enforce based on your opinion.
Rules 8.7.K and 8.8.D are pretty clear on the subject.
