Nice try but you got caught by the rules differences.

In FED it's catcher's obstruction.

In OBR and LL it's catcher's interference.

2.00 INTERFERENCE (b) Defensive interference is an act by a fielder that hinders or prevents a batter
from hitting a pitch.

6.08 The batter becomes a runner and is entitled to first base without liability to be put
out (provided he advances to and touches first base) when—
(c) The catcher or any fielder interferes with him.
