You ALWAYS call obstruction when you see it. You do not wait for the result of the play to determine whether or not it affected the play. Remember, the affects of an obstruction are not disciplinary, but an equalizer to negate the obstruction.
Actually, an umpire is not empowered to ignore the call at the time of it's occurance.
