Quasi right.
There are two types of obstruction, a play on the runner obstructed, and no play. Here there was no play on the runner.
With "no play" obstruction, you have a delayed dead ball. (stick your left fist out to the side, point at the obstruction with your right hand and yell "that's obstruction". Let the play finish.
After the play, you need to award bases which, in your judgement, nullifies the act of obstruction.
It sounds to me like this play was not allowed to be finished. Without allowing it to finish, the wrong call was made, if that happened.
If it did happen, I'd have to know where everyone ended up after the play to determine whether or not you were correct (aside from your judgement of where runners would have been had the obstruction not occured, you were there I was not).
Also, you can't give awards based off a 3rd base coach yelling and an umpire yelling "that's obstruction" if it sends runner's back to their bases confused. They were not obstructed with by any fielder.
Did you let the play finish?
