First, there is no reason to protect the BR to first in this situation.
Second, I believe you have obstruction, in FED delayed dead ball ( and award of 2nd, by rule.. 8.3.2). In OBR, in my judgement, you have type B (no play being made on runner AT THE TIME of the obstruction, this is not a run down, and the force was made after the act of obstruction vs. during it) but you may still call the out.
Truthfully, in OBR, the difference between Type A and Type B in this case is moot. Killing the play is of no consequence as there was no subsequent action.
