I agree with Glen. As to "bringing the ball up after the catch", I would expect to hear that only about a ball that was scooped or trapped by F3 with the glove on top of the ball & the ball on/near the ground. With F3 voluntarily removing ball from glove - if I'm picturing that right - that is a catch and an out.

As an afterthought, there might well be a case for interference by the batter-runner here. B-R only entitled to the orange base, so there is no need or reason to enter fair territory - where the white base is.
