Correct.

Braves were pissed that IF fly was called at all. Once it's called, it's final. The instant the IF fly was signaled, the batter was out.

The runners advanced (which they could do either way) but the batter was out regardless of what happened at that point. When the ball fell between Kozma and Holliday, the Braves believed it should've been bases loaded and 1 out instead of runners on 2nd and 3rd and two out.

By rule they were wrong. And frankly I still believe the umpires got that call right.
