I don't know anything about ISF rules, but I would have a hard time believing that they would call for an obstruction call by a fielder who has possession of the ball. Every other rule set that I'm familiar with (ASA, NCAA, NFHS, USSSA, etc.) gives the fielder complete freedom to block a runner's access to a base when that fielder is holding the ball.
