In OBR, although there is an "intervening play," that does not relieve the BR of his obligation to obey the running lane rules. If it is determined that the BR hindered F3's ability to receive the throw while being out of the lane, he is still subject to being called out for INT.
In FED, the same is true except that INT can be called if the BR interfered with the throw or the act of fielding the throw.
