If the runner was trying to get to the plate while the catcher was trying to get the ball, then it's obstruction. If the runner was just laying there, then it's not obstruction. If there was merely contact while F2 was trying to get to the ball (as oppsoed to an active "blocking of the plate"), you might have a train wreck -- depending on the specific rule, and the specific contact.
