That said, I thought the ruling is no obstruction if the defender is pulled into the runner's base path by the throw.

Fielder must have possession of the ball in order to legally block the runner's path otherwise it's Obstruction. To my knowledge only Baseball allows you to be in the act of receiving the ball while blocking the path of the runner.
