Obstructing a proceeding of Congress is a serious charge.

Is that the charge they've been convicted for? If not it legally doesn't count no matter how much you want it to.

ETA: I did some research. In the state of North Carolina there are 14 charged for a variety of things due to their participation on 6 Jan but not all are charged specifically with obstruction of an official proceeding. Only one has been convicted so far and not for obstructing a proceeding of Congress, though that was one of the charges that led to her arrest. 

Virginia Spencer of Pilot Mountain, NC was charged with obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly conduct in a capitol building; parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a capitol building. She was arrested in February 2021. She pleaded guilty in September to parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building, a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 6 months imprisonment. She'll spend three months in a federal prison and three years on probation. She'll begin serving her sentence 25 February.
