I agree that the call in the OP was correct.
With missed bases, ASA has no stipulation (as in OBR) about having to tag a runner who is "in the vicinity" of the bag or returning to touch it. An immediate appeal is permitted, and is even given as an example in a case play. My question would be, If the fielder's tagging of the base is an unmistakable appeal of an obvious miss, do I as the umpire still require that the fielder state his appeal? After all, we don't require such when a runner is halfway to 2B when F3 catches a line drive and steps on 1B.
