Let's simplify type b obstruction.
You simply award the runner what would, or could have happened if the obstruction didn't take place. That may be the next base, back to the current one, or nothing at all.
i.e. if you see a slight OBS at third, but the runner is thrown out at the plate by 15', you've got still got OBS, not an award of the dish. Either way, he was dead at the dish.
So, in the original play, R2 gets bumped by F5 at third, but the catcher has the ball at the plate. Could he have scored? No, so no award.
