Makes sense to me.

I always thought an obstructed runner was required to touch all bases no matter the obstruction?

Then consider this play: R1 and R2, batter hits long fly ball to the gap, R2 and R1 are on their horses to score. Catcher obstructs R2 in a big collision just short of the plate, then R1 runs through the train wreck and scores.
Are you seriously going to uphold an appeal on R2's "miss" of the plate, and/or are you going to call R1 out for "passing" R2?
I hope not.

I don't see the problem. You say catcher obstructs R2. R2 is awarded home. I am not going to uphold a miss due to an obstruction.
