I know it's delayed and I know you award once runner is out but I'm not stopping play for all other action. I'll let it play out and award as needed. It's the only way I've ever seen it done
Then you're doing it wrong (in either rule set).

The delayed dead becomes actual dead if the obstructed runner is put out before reaching the award base. You then award ALL runners the base they would have achieved absent the obstruction. You do NOT let it play out.
