I agree. But, there's a difference between the obstruction CAUSING the runner to miss a base, and obstruction, followed by the runner missing the base.
In the OP, the obstruction didn't CAUSE the coach's assistance. You might envision a similar play where contact between F5 and R2 causes the runner to contact the third-base coach. The assistance might be ignored in this play.
