This didn't happen - but it could have - what if R1 goes sliding into 2nd base and knocks the feet out from under F6 who is standing on the bag at the time, thus preventing F6 from fielding the ball?

The runner would be out for interference, unless somehow he was in contact with the bag
and the contact with F6 was unintentional.
