I would assume that is exactly what the BU saw or he would not have ruled obstruction.
As far as an umpire's action when the partner doesn't see the OBS is relatively simple. The partner was only doing what s/he was supposed to do, call the play.
The PU should immediately kill the ball, verify the location of any other runners. At this point, announce the OBS and any award which may apply.
