Any obstruction between third and home the runner is awarded home. If the runner is obstructed before reaching third and the ball is inflight to third a play is being made on an obstructed runner. The play is killed and the runner awarded third.
Of course if the ump felt that an obstructed runner could have gotten more than one base he will award.

This just is not true. There are no pre-set standards for placing a runner or awarding them any particular base(s) on an obstruction call.
If you believe there is, you have either been taught incorrectly, misunderstand the rule or are a troll looking for an argument.
