There is obviously either obstruction or interference.....the question is which?
Was F6 the "protected fielder" at the time of the contact? If so, it's int. If not, it's OBS.

In this instance, as I read the play, F5 was initially the protected fielder. If the contact occurred before the ball went through F5, then it was OBS.

Once the ball went through F5, F6 *could have become* the protected fielder *IF* you judged that he had a play -- that is, could have fielded the ball and then had a reasonable attempt at a put-out (if the latter isn't true, then he was jsut "chasing a loose ball.")
