bunted ball hits batter

looking for clarification.

Runners on 1st & 2nd. Batter bunts fair then runs into the ball in fair territory -he's out but the home plate umpire was shielded from the batter/runner/ball & the play continues & batter is thrown out at first. The umpires ruled batter was out but let the runners advance to 2nd & 3rd.

Shouldn't the runners have been made to return to their original bases due to dead ball ?
