Armadillo Blue,

Absent evidence of intent to interfere by the BR (in the umpire's sole judgement), as described, this is not interference and no penalty is appropriate.

If the umpire judges there was intent (which could include the umpire's judgement that the BR's hindrance was "blatant and avoidable"), then the BR would be called out and the R3 returned.
