Umpire Interference

[DaveAM]

I am in the C slot, runner on 2B, and line drive off bat hits me then SS catches ball without it ever touching ground. I have immediate dead ball, umpire interference and batter-runner gets 1B and any runner(s) go back unless forced to advanced. Correct call or no? Just for clarification purposes, if I was positioned behind the infield, then this would be a live ball, correct? 

Does this rule change between NFHS or OBR?

You are correct and the rule is the same in both codes.

While this sit is the same in all codes 2021 OBR has added a different umpire "interference" that is not the same in all codes, bolding mine:

"6.01 Interference, Obstruction, and Catcher Collisions (a) Batter or Runner Interference It is interference by a batter or a runner when: (1)  After a third strike that is not caught by the catcher, the batter-runner clearly hinders the catcher in his attempt to field the ball. Such batter-runner is out, the ball is dead, and all other runners return to the bases they occupied at the time of the pitch. If a pitch that is not caught remains in the vicinity of home plate and it is inadvertently deflected by the batter or umpire, that ball is a dead ball and the runners should return to the bases they occupied at the time of the pitch (but if the pitch was strike three, the batter is out).

To add to this, if you are behind the infielders, and the ball hits you on the fly and stays in the air, it is deemed a ground ball for the purposes of obtaining an out.

The SS catching it off a deflection of you would not be an out, they must still throw to first
