Bases loaded, 1 out. Batter hits popup to infield, infield fly is called by plate umpire (batter declared out), ball lands on ground behind pitcher. Runner on 2nd hesitates before trying to proceed to 3B and inadvertantly has contact (minor) with SS trying to get to popup. Runner on 2nd is declared out by field umpire for interference.

Result: Batter out, runner at 2B out, inning over.

Correct call?
Not enough info. Where was the contact? What was the sequence? You say the ball dropped, then you say R2 ran into F6 who was trying to make the catch. Which was it? If the ball was closer to the pitcher, it's not F6's play.
