No, not what I said. In USA/NCAA softball, if you interfere with a fly ball over fair territory, both the runner and batter are out (in USA, also foul territory).
In NFHS, interference with a fly ball over fair territory is runner out, BR placed on first. Over foul territory is out, foul/strike on the batter.
In this case, the runner could interfere with F6 catching the ball, as it would extend to the "initial play" but getting hit with the ball is nothing.
