Neither would I.

The more pertinent question is, do you HAVE OBS if B1 hits a clean single & tangles with F3.... Whether or not you enforce it is another matter entirely.
Yes, the FED rule is kinda dumb. But equally dumb is F3 for being in a position to obstruct B1 on a clean single. The same can be said with F6 in the OP. Until FED decides its rule is dumb and goes the way of OBR, then you'd better be VERY convincing that you didn't see the tangle and are willing to cut a dumb fielder some slack.
