Sam,
I agree with Dakota - and I liked Roger's summary over on ETeamz, too. There are times when the fielder does have to be right there to catch a thrown ball and you could technically have obstruction (runner beat the throw by an RCH). Don't call that - it's just a wreck.

Case 1, you've got it right.

In your Case 2, you might have a technical meeting of the guideline for obstruction, but you most likely should not call this. It really depends on what "just after" means.
