FED Rules - I am in C position

Situation: Bottom 1/2 of the inning. 1 out, R1 on 2nd, R2 on 1st. BR hits hard grounder to F6. R1 collides with F6 as ball arrives at F6 glove. R1 is attempting to give F6 the space to field ball, but chooses to go the wrong direction. I call R1 out for interferance, F6 steps back away from the ball, then steps up, picks up the ball and makes a bad throw over F4s head, who is on 2nd, in an attempt to make the out on R2. I call R2 safe.

After the game, my partner and I are doing a post game review, and I pull out my rule book to see if I made the right call. The way I read the dead ball table, I should have ruled an immediate dead ball and had the option of calling R2 out at 2nd base. Am I reading this right or did I make the right call by using the "delayed dead ball"?
