Just my guess
I believe a ball hit over the fence for a home-run is still a live ball tell all runners have finished there running responibilities that is why a runner can be called out on passing unlike where if a ball bounces or goes under the fence these are dead ball situation and I believe as POE 37 states a runner can only be called out for passing when the ball is alive. If the ball is dead I believe it just like a runner going into the dugout in a dead ball situation you bring the runner back out and put her on base and a dead ball situation and a runner passes I believe you just make sure they go to the right base before putting the ball back into play
