The CCA Manual lists seven situations in which an umpire may offer unsolicited information to another umpire that made an incorrect call. One of those seven is a fair-foul call on a homerun ball.
I am uncertain whether the professional umpires follow the same mechanics in those seven situations. But I'll never work pro ball. I do, however, work NCAA ball, which causes me to follow the NCAA seven-situation mechanic at any level. So my advice is: offer your unsolicited information in those seven situations and let the calling umpire decide whether to correct his call or not.
