In your play, the play should have been killed when the OBS was retired.

I was also told that if (in your judgement) the runner wouldn't have made it to 2nd if there was no obstruction that you should ignore the obstuction and take the outs.
Do not confuse this with a play where the OBS was irrelevant to the result of the play like on a line drive or fly ball. This was a play in progress and no one really knows how F6 may have handled the play if there was an approaching runner who was not obstructed.
