Let me ask you the reverse (I see and read this misinterpretation of the effect of obstruction more often than the one you posted)...
Runner hits what you judge to be a double. F3 obstructs near first base, slowing runner. F9 then throws the ball into left field (or alternately, F9 falls down before retrieving the ball). Runner continues to third, and is out on a banger as F7 (or the fallen F9) fires to F5. Do you change your protection to third? After all, if runner hadn't been obstructed, she would have beaten that throw to third.
(PS - the answer is that you SHOULD NOT change your protection because of the poor throw from F9 or the fall by F9)
