Rick,
Just because the runner is safe does not make them immune from not affecting other plays.
In the first scenario, for example, if F6 being knocked to the ground permitted runners to advanced and I as the umpire believed the "wreck" prevented the defense from making an out, then there is inteference.

I agree, with your "judgement" to an extent. If the runner on on 3rd for example is running home and the collision occurs, it's interference and dead ball, there could possibly be a double play depending on your judgement.
BUT ( I always like the but part) if the runner is standing on 3rd, the collision happens and then decides to run home because of the result of the play and seeing the defensive player on the ground, play one, no interference. It's a train wreck.
