Besides, once you call it, the batter and defense might react to the automatic out, so reversing would be unfair "jeopardy" to either.

The ball landing 10 feet beyond the fielder who was already deep makes "ordinary effort" a question, which I think the OP is implying. But it is ITUJ within and ordinary effort range, so the call was correct. I think we all have misjudged ordinary effort at some time, just like we all have missed a call of some kind.
