The shorthand here has gotten you confused.
All rulesets have "in the act of fielding a BATTED BALL" as part of their exceptions to obstruction. Definitions and verbiage are not identical, and when that protection ends is different --- but it's in ALL of them.
The OP referred to a player "in the act of fielding a THROWN ball" - which is COMPLETELY different in all respects.
