I'm not sure about this one Sam. I think you are confusing the interference with the ball having passed one fielder and anther having opportunity to field the ball with the runner touching that ball between the two fielders. AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS INCLUDES A DEFLECTED BALL.
The defense, F3, had its opportunity and muffed it. I'm leaning towards obstruction (given no intention to create a collision on the part of the runner) but am going to do a little research to justify my position. I didn't find anything concrete... does ASA have a specific ruling for this situation? FED Rule 8-6-10a says The runner is out when: the runner interferes with a fielder attempting to field a batted fair ball. I would not consider this a batted ball after it has been deflected. JMHO
