Hmmm,
By NFHS rule an umpire can change the call of a home run to foul ball or a foul ball to home run IF the ball left the field of play.
The inadvertant call of "foul" does not include a home run as the inadvertant call did not cause the ball to become dead.
Please note that I am using the term "inadvertant" but this rule still allows for a umpire to request help from another umpire if he is in doubt.
I have never heard that one "shouldn't change a foul ball to a home run" before: if you believe in the current concept of "getting the call right" then the umpire crew should discuss all issues and come to an agreement.
What ever happens the original "calling umpire" should make the final call.
