This does not say "Advanced two bases beyond where the obstruction occurred". the order of the words means something completely different.

This is referring to advancing beyond the area between the two bases where the obstruction occurred (ie the part of the rule that protects the runner between these bases). It's ADDITIONAL protection for a runner ... not a LIMIT on protection.

And yes... it could be worded better --- like adding the word 'between' after bases at a minimum.
