I would guess that it's to watch for any unsporting conduct, taunting, etc. and generally to prevent problems at the end of the game.

NCAA rule requires players that were not on base to stay out of the dirt circle after a home run. That's why the umpire was where he was. This is precisely to keep the offensive team away from the defensive team, in particular the catcher and pitcher.
