Whenever we have a situation where a ball could become tangled or go through a fence, dense brush growing through a fence, past the fence into DBT, etc., we tell coaches to keep the runners going.
If we see fielders going after the ball, we let it play out (unless an obvious DB like a bounce over a fence or clearly through a gap in the fencing).
We can always send runners back if need be, but we can't send them forward (absent OBS).
