Sounds like DPI. Your words "coming through" are the key. Neither player can play through the other player to get the ball.
The "impede" wording from your association doesn't deal with this situation. That would be a situation where the route of the receiver is being impeded. It sounds like he already had run his route to get to where he was at.
There is a philosophy that each player has an equal shot at the ball. This is true, but you still can't go through a player to get the ball. Assuming that the contact was prior to the ball getting there, it sounds like there was a foul.
