I don't remember anything in the OBS rules about initial non-possession versus secondary non-possession.
... snip ... In this case, when the runner tried to progress further and the catcher without the ball fell on her, THAT is obstruction.
1) I agreed with you about ("a catcher not in possession of the ball FALLING on top of the runner after the initial play").
2) The phrase "catcher without the ball fell on her, THAT is obstruction" is the secondary non-possession I referred to. The point being that impeding the runner without having possession is OBS, even if the fielder had possession previously.
