Obstruction calls can be Delayed.

Coach's interference and catcher's interference (referred to as catcher's obstruction in Fed) are also delayed dead ball situations. Also, if an umpire interferes with a catcher attempt to make a throw, no immediate call is made, but it is truly a delayed dead ball situation in that the runner(s) will return if the catcher's attempt is unsuccessful in retiring the runner. If the attempt is successful, the interference is ignored.
Just my opinion,
