In Fed or NCAA, I do not see how it could be anything other than obstruction. In HS it's not obstruction until the runner changes their direction, or speed (can't quote it and don't have my trusty book handy). Maybe I'm not visualizing what you are saying - but unless there's malicious contact I don't see how an offensive player can interfere with an obstructing fielder.
