As you know, the question concerns spectator interference. Where the ball "would have gone" is irrelevant to determining spectator interference. What matters was (a) did a fan touch a live ball, and (b) was the ball over the field when touched by a fan.

If it was a good call, it was not such for the reasoning you're providing.
