The explanation given was that Gant's momemtum was carrying him off the bag, and the contact by Hrbek didn't have a material effect. IOW, that Gant would have likely come off the bag without the contact.

As a biased Braves fan, naturally I didn't see it that way.

At least it can be argued that Hrbek's tag knocked the runner off his base (resulting in an out). I don't think you can make the same argument with Beckham's "tag."
I thought Hrbek pried him off with his leg.

Momentum nothing, his leg was lifted off the bag. Lateral momentum doesn't turn into vertical momentum in that manner.
