In either case the umpire would be justifed in calling the runner nearest the plate out.
But the runner had already crossed the plate. In ASA, that runner is not considered the runner nearest the plate. Whatever kind of interference you want to use to call the BR out, that run still counts.
But suppose the popup was a bunt (and IFR could not be called)? How would you nullify the run in that case?
