First base umpire signals "catch" and out. Home plate umpire overrules and calls ball out of play.
What is the appropriate ruling and who makes the call?

That depends on where and how the BU was standing at the time. And it wouldn't hurt to know what rules were being used, if it was instantaneous multiple calls, if the umpires talked before making a final ruling, etc.
