The obstruction is ignored, it has no bearing on the caught fly ball, and end result of the play. J/R covers this one pretty good.

IF the obstruction happened before the ball is caught you have to call the obstruction. Then once the out is recorded and the play ends the obstruction is ignored.

Just because it looks like a routine fly ball you can't assume the outfielder is going to catch the ball and not call the obstruction. What happens if the outfielder drops the ball and then nails the BR at second on a bang-bang play? I guarantee you the offensive manager is coming out to ask about the non-obstruction call rounding first.

The OBS is ignored AFTER the ball is caught, not before---signal the OBS, see the ball caught, signal the out, then ignore the OBS.....
