In this situation, the ruling should be made by the home plate umpire. It would be very diffcult for the PU to change his (or her) mind after the initial ruling, fair or foul ball. There may be some unexplained circumstances that may justify reversing the original call, but this would be a very rare situation. PU umpire should only make one call and it should be right the first time.

Thanks for the response, but maybe I didn't make myself very clear the first time.
Of course I would stick with my original call. However, in the event that we had needed to have a conference with my partners to see if we had enough evidence to overturn the call - that is what I thought might be restricted within the rule. The 'once-it's-foul-it's-foul' adage it what I was having a problem with.
