The difference between the two scenarios (live / dead ball appeal) is how the obstruction is handled. In the dead ball appeal, the runner was tagged out between the bases where the obs occurred, so is not out from the tag, and is allowed to complete her baserunning before the appeal is dealt with. In the live ball appeal, the runner is out on appeal if IUJ the runner would not have made it back to 3B absent the obs.
