No Obs

I don't see obstruction here.

The defensive player (almost) has the ball, and besides, there is enough of the base for the runner's foot to touch - look closely and you'll see it.

That, too, is irrlelvant to a call. The runner may choose which route to take approaching and touching the base. The defense CANNOT attempt to dictate the runner's path.

If the defender's foot is covering just 10% of the base and that is the 10% the runner wants to use, that can be obstruction.
