In FED, the batter is out, whether the "backswing contact" occurs before, during, or after the catcher controls the pitch.
In OBR, the catcher is allowed to continue his attempt to play on the runner if he is able. If his immediate initial throw results in an out on the runner, the out stands. Otherwise, the runner is returned and the batter is not out.

Hmmm. Well, no wonder those high school coaches were *****ing so much.
Thanks for the clarification; I stand corrected.
