I'm going to assume that the two players were next to each other, both preparing to participate in the corner kick. If that's the case, then it would have been prudent to allow play to continue without interruption. Some teams have set corner plays that involve one player touching the ball (to put it into play) and another then dribbling along the goal line to improve positioning and angles for a chip to the mouth of the goal.
If the players were within a couple of yards of the field, this would be a trifling situation which, while not within the Laws of the Game, were within the Spirit of the Game. The art of calling soccer is to move from literal interpretation of LOTG to working within the spirit of the game.
