Bob,
I take you at your word that this is the proper rule to use in the above instance.
For a newbie like myself, is there somewhere that I could refer that gives guidance on when 6.06 ends (in terms of the catcher catching the pitch) or is this just an accepted interpretation of the rules?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hummm???

One way to reconcile them is to accept (as Pete implied) that 6.06(c) applies only when F2 catches the pitch and immediately makes a play.
If it's a passed ball (or wild pitch), the 6.06(c) doesn't apply. It's not "batters interference" anymore; it's "interference with a thrown ball" -- and that, as indicated in 7.09(l), requires intent.
