A good reason to not play on a smartphone (if one is inclined to) as moves entered often aren't what was actually intended - not saying this was the scenario here. Just in case you may not know LeoLausemaus, there is a button at the bottom "SHOW ORDER GRAPHICS". A very useful tool to double check visually what is actually happening. Many a time I have caught myself (when using a phone mostly) supporting a move from Spain to St Pet with F West Med rather than Spain to Mar or something equally ridiculous.
Rolling back moves would create such a nightmare precedent that ..., well, the other reason is that a database admin would have to make the change within the database at the command line and while most likely could be done without any issues, there is always the risk of something exciting (and unexpected) happening.
In exceptional circumstances, the DB admins have gone into a game and corrected an issue but in those cases there was a very good reason to do so (i.e. frozen game, a partial crash, ...)
