No, the umpire that calls the obstruction makes the award - you in this case.
Two things come up - 1 that I'm inferring from your post (I may be wrong), and 1 that came up here a couple of months ago.
1) When you saw the OBS, did you decide right then and there to protect to 2nd base? Or did you wait for the play to develop.
2) The issue of multiple obstructions was met with a very divided opinion here a couple of months ago. You don't mention it in the post, but there may be the question of - if there had been no OBS at first, then would the runner have been far enough along that she's have made third on the 2nd OBS. Based on the sequence of events you've posted, I'd have to say no in this case, as the play at 2nd may have been completely different without the OBS at first base (she may have come in standing up with no chance of being out - and the ball may not have gotten away).
