If we accept the scenario on it's face-value description (ball, runner arriving at the same time), by ASA rule interpretation (POE 13 and 34) this is neither obstruction nor interference. Result of play stands. Runner tagged - out. Catcher drops ball - safe.
The only exception would be if UC was ruled.

OK, by reading "catcher receives the ball just as the runner is reaching home" as all arriving at the same time. I was visualizing that the catcher had received the ball and then the runner arrived home and collided.
