I think these interference overrules catchers obstruction on the batter only apply to ASA per the oral interpertation at this time.
I still don't buy it for Fed, USSSA, or Pony unless one of these groups adopts the interp. Otherwise, I still believe their rules only state that inteference by an obstructed runner is overruled by the interference, and that the clause does not apply to the different rule govering catcher's obstruction.
