Fed is not any different on this. Obstruction can be called on a caught foul ball that remains live however in your case I think the distinction is that the foul ball bacame a dead ball once it touched the ground. Therefore, on an uncaught foul ball, the rules say the runners return to bases occupied at the time of pitch TOP.

Your explanation was right on.
