If F6 stops (or moves to maintain position in the line-of-sight), you have a case for visual obstruction. If F6 runs past / in-front of R2, it's nothing.

2) Same situation only as the SS passes in front of the runner, the runner takes off to 3rd. The SS passes in front of the runner as he's trying to get back to his position and they collide. The runner is thrown out. Obstruction?
Obstruction.
