I don't really understand the physics of it not being a home run. It bounced up and back.. if it hit the yellow thing it wouldn't move exactly opposite how it hit.

Not necessarily. It could have hit high on the fence against the padding, or even the very top of the fence with backspin. I've seen several fly balls bounce back exactly like that after hitting the fence.

The ball became obscured before bouncing back, meaning it went over the wall.

They said it hit a "pole" (think they meant pipe or whatever) which the padding it there to cover but is still in play. If this is indeed true, then no HR was the correct call.
