I would be fine from a plausibility point of view for most Missile spells.
Even a spell that say conjured Lightning from the sky with the rational that you needed to cast the targeting point inside the ward so it knows where to go.
On the other hand a blast of wind or a hurled (not created) rock would not be blocked.
