I'll add the citation from Evans Annotated that covers this:
-----------
Runners must retouch after all fly balls are caught. This includes both fair and foul balls.
The runner must retouch his original base. this is the base he occupied at the time the pitcher initiated his delivery. A runner who is running on the pitch and has actually touched a succeeding base at the time the ball is hit, must return and touch the previously occupied base (his original base at the time of the pitch).
The defensive team must make their appeal for failure to retouch at that original base. Even though the defense may be able to physically make an appeal at another base touched by the runner before he retouches it, this is not a valid appeal.
