Is this obstruction?

In NFHS, this is obstruction because the fielder neither has the ball nor is attempting to field a batted ball.

Agree.
The example put forth in A.R.12.14.3.2 is almost the exact play as in the OP.

NCAA still recognizes the "about to receive" caveat to exclude them from an OBS call. If the ball reached F3 prior to the runner, that requirement was met.

OBS in ASA & NFHS and I don't HTBT to make that determination.

Good point.
