Sticking to Fed...
The rule specifically says "rectify any situation in which an umpire’s decision that was reversed has placed either team in jeopardy." (10-2-3-m)
What umpire decision was reversed? Calling TIME is not a decision in this context. The case book gives these examples of a reversed decision:
10.2.3-D inadvertent OUT call results in player tagged out.
-F, -G, -H "Ball 4" call reversed with checked swing appeal.
In the OP's case, there is no call that was reversed. Only an untimely TIME.
Besides, I would even argue that the defense was NOT put in jeopardy here.

Apparently, the defense had no intention of attempting to put the BR (not batter) out.
