No quite correct.
The "intentional double play breakup" is when the RUNNER hasn't been put out yet. For example, R1 on 2nd, R2 on 1st. BR hits a ball to F4, who is trying to tag R2 and then flip to F3 for the DP. R2 interferes with F4, such as knocking it out of her hand/glove while being tagged. That would be the limited way to get the BR out.
Once the runner is retired, it is always runner closest to home.
I have never called the "intentional interference on a double play", and I've umpire a variety of JO, adult slow and adult fast.
