I would think this would only be used when the field is completely blocked. You must fear that some team may be harmed strategically if trying to perform a task such as hurdling when the caution stoppage occurred.

I'd guess the action would have to dwindle down pretty low pretty fast once the track had been blocked - most refs could then discern when it's ok to wave the yellow flag.
