Based on what you said, you were in the process of umpiring duties (straightening out the count and getting the right batter back to the plate). You have no LBR violation as time was called.
I would say either umpire could make the call...I would have to go look in the umpire manual to see if it is addressed. My preference is for the base umpire to make the calls on the bases. Only exception would be multiple runners on base with a runner at 3rd, then plate would cover the runner at 3rd and BU the others.
