If the catcher grabs the runner you have obstruction. Different rule.Catche's interference applies only to interfering with the catcher hindering the batter's attempt to hit the ball.
Also, I believe that 6.08 only refers to allowing a runner attempting to steal HOME as being allowed to score (advance,) with the batter being awarded first. If the interference is enforced, all other runners only advance from the TOP base if forced.
