There was a thread here a few weeks ago about killing the play on an injury. It seems the consensus was that you don't kill the play if there's continuous action. The extra 10 seconds it takes to complete the play isn't going to be life-threatening.

In your case, as soon as you saw that the runners were stationary and the BR was staying put, continous action is over and you kill the play. If the runners don't start to move until the catcher starts walking to the dugout, then it sounds like there was no continous action.

Would you have granted time if the catcher asked for it? From your description, play was stopped and I'd grant time in this case. So pretend the catcher asked for it.
