If the umpires consult after a play and change a call that had
been made, then they have the authority to take all steps that they may deem necessary, in their discretion, to eliminate the results and consequences of the earlier call that they are reversing, including placing
runners where they think those runners would have been after the play,
had the ultimate call been made as the initial call.
Since the umpires awarded the run the run stands because on a call reversal, it is umpire discretion as to where to place runners.
In FED, there is a specific rule to govern this and in all likelyhood R3 would be returned to 3rd base.
SIDE NOTE: You can do what you will but in PRE-GAME make it clear that if your partner needs help do it right away. If there is some time like this case then DO NOT reverse the call or even bother asking at this point.
