I think the 'blocking the flow' rule is really about intention. It would not be advisable to allow the FCS in the unprotected zone to continue to score all of the disks, and logically, pinning them away from the feeder slots would not effect the flow of the court, but just the mobility of said pinned bot.
Edit for clarification:

Crude paint skills aside, the field (for the most part) still remains accessible. Perhaps the rule implies that blue robots (in this situation) are not allowed to stop the red robots from passing the auto line, but the blocking of the FCS in question is perfectly legal.
