Yes. But the rule also tells you to place ALL runners where you think they would have achieved. So say you have a runner rounding third and a play at 2nd on a runner that was obstructed at first. When they tag that runner, the ball is dead, award the runner 2nd (or 1st, possibly), and then put the other runner either home or 3rd based on where you think they would have gotten had the play continued.
