Well, to give an accurate account of what you would do in that situtaion, you need to define what is un-catchable. A lot of these situations I read here, I think you need to be there to actually see what is happening to make a ruling. The example it says the ball was thrown over f3's head. How high over? Was it uncatchable by that first baseman or would it have been uncatchable by any first baseman? That's umpire judgement and is going to vary person to person.
So if the umpire had said that BR is out for interference because they blocked the first base view and they weren't able to react properly, then that reasoning would have been alright, assuming you think the ball could have been caught.
