6.05(k) is not listed in the index of OBR as an example of interference per se. 6.05 (h), (j), (m) and (n) are the only official offensive interference references given for 6.05.
I believe that the play has no effect on the other runners, and only the batter is called out.
In the MLBUM, it says the following concerning interference, but doesn't address this situation specifically, so I don't believe it applies:
If the umpire declares the batter, batter-runner, or a runner out for interference, all other runners shall return to the last base that was, in the judgment of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference unless otherwise provided by the Official Baseball Rules.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
