Isn't this obstruction already? The fielder (and, thankfully, the runner!) does not have the ball, and they hindered the runner coming into 3rd.

Well, if you see it, it should be signaled (which is acknowledging it). I say that not acknowledging it (even if relatively unnecessary) can give the perception of lazy umpiring. Perception, of course, does not always accurately reflect reality, so take that not as an accusation.
