So, you have to 'umpire' in this case, and use your best judgement based on the situation.
In type B (OBR only!) you have the option to penalize as to nullify the act of obstruction, again, having to 'umpire' and award or NOT award based on that. In FED, you have no option, you penalize at least one base.
So, I would put it 'that way' for Type B obstruction for the OBR rule set only.

NO!
If you rule obstruction he gets the base. No woulda-shoulda on type A.
