I think college should go to how it is in the NFL. If it has no direct impact on the play then it is not a penalty. They never call holding or anything else in the NFL on the backside of a play.

That lineman being 5 yards downfield had absolutely no impact on that play. The corner came off of his man to tackle the QB. The DB's were not watching the linemen to see how to react to the play, they were doing what DB's always do; their eyes were on the QB.

If the lineman isn't blocking 6 yards down the field, then that would allow a linebacker to cover the qb instead of the cb releasing to cover him.
