F6 had arms below waist and quickly tries to raise arms to field the ball, but the ball is past her before she can react. The way I saw it is that F6 lost visual contact with the ball when R2 was in front of her, and then when R2 cleared her, and she re-established visual, it was too late for her to react to the ball and field it.

I did call interference.

Next question,

How do you concisely explain this call to R2 when she asks, what did I do wrong?
You ruled a runner out for doing exactly what she is supposed to do. If you have given us all the information available, I don't believe there was interference on the play.
