Not at all! Take a look at G31. The ball never makes it to the corral, so it never has to be "removed immediately." There could potentially be 6 balls held by inbounders and an additional one stuck without penalty.

Personally, I'd call this a field fault and replay the match or simply fix it now to stop it from happening again.
