Not if he's a retired runner at the time of the hindrance. If the runner bumps into F5 5 seconds after the ball has been thrown back to F1, are you still asking for obstruction, coach?
Of course, the hindrance might have happened first: all I'm saying is that the umpire has a judgment to make about which happened first.
