I used bases.chat, the AI program created by SABR member Ted Ingram, to find all of these cases. I wonder why it has not been done since 2011? After the table I will list any players since 2011 who led their league in OBP and won a Gold Glove, but not in the same season.

Here are the players who have led their league in OBP at least once since 2011. Each line first shows when they led in OBP then all the years they won a Gold Glove Award. I included GGs before 2012. Mauer and Votto are also among the players who did them both in the same year as seen in the table above
Freeman OBP 2022 GG 2018
Yelich OBP 2019 GG 2014
Votto OBP 2012-13-16-17-18 GG 2011
The only close case is Vladimir Guerrero who won a GG a year after leading in OBP.
