Bob hit on the key difference. You don't penalize other runners in this kind of interference. The runner who was picked up is out, but no one else did anything wrong, or affected the defense adversely (just as in a runner passing another). At least until a play is made on the runner in question. (For example, if R1 rounding third, assisted by coach at third, continued home and drew a throw). The other runners are liable to be put out, and also allowed to continue running bases.

A runner out for interfering with a fielder is a different sitch, as defense was specifically hampered by the interference. So you kill it in that case.
