I would have to agree. Just as we do not expect a runner to disappear into thin air once put out, why would you expect a defender to be able to do the same thing.
If F4 didn't have time to move, no call. Even if she just laid there, that may be preferable to trying to get up and getting in the runner's way, hence definite obstruction. At least while prone on the ground, the runner is permitted to leap over the defender.
