How can you penalize a player for his actions when it was the umpire's initial call that provided the necessary information? No tag up is required when a ball is not caught. Bad idea.
R1. Fly ball hit to F9 who dives for the ball. R1 goes half way to second. Ball is ruled "no catch". R1 advances to 2nd, BR to 1st. Replay overturns the call and it is now ruled a catch. What do you do with R1?
Calling him out on appeal for not properly tagging up would be an idiotic and unreasonable thing to do.
