The 4th inning ends. The visitors are winning 5-3.
Th 5th inning begins and after a 1/2 inning the visitors are still winning 5-3. The bottom of the 5th now comes up and the home team bats and scores 11 runs however, the inning is not completed due to weather. It ends with one out.
Are you still saying the home team won?

Yes. Even if it was the bottom of the fifth, the home team won.
Both sides get a fair number of at-bats. The home team always gets to bat last. If the home team takes the lead before the game ends, and it is regulation, then the home team has won. There would be no reverting back.
The reason you revert back when applicable is because the home team did not get their fair number of at-bats. You revert back to an inning when the home team did get its fair number of at-bats.
In your situation, the home team got to bat but they did not get all their outs. But since they took the lead and did not need all their outs it is irrelevant. Home team wins 14-5.
