I agree that the most important thing is to be right, even if you have to sack up and change a call.
In this case, I think you would have been OK to stick with the initial call, but if the ball was gone I can see it the other way as well. I would let you ask yourself this, if you knew the ball was gone, would you have made the call any different? If the answer is no, you should not have changed.
I would also suggest that when you're on a three man crew if any calls are going to be changed, all 3 officials huddle before doing that.
