Jasper- The other thing that needs to be mentioned here is that this is not an "appeal" play. An appeal is a specific play that is defined by rule. This play does not meet that definition.
What we have here is the defense telling the PU that they saw something s/he may have missed (the B/R making contact with the ball) and asking that the PU confer with his partner to see if the BU saw the contact. Since the BU saw the contact, the play reverts back to the point of the contact. There is no "timing" involved.
The rest of the replies have covered how the play should have been handled by the BU when s/he saw the runner contact the ball.
