Heel interference only works when it's actually behind the referee's back. On SmackDown, Tamina leapt up onto the ring apron in plain view of the ref (he hadn't turned around to chat with Natalya yet) and hit Belair with a kick.

Then, to add to the pain, the official turned back around too soon and saw Tamina jump back down off the apron. This didn't look great for either party, especially the ref. He could've covered his back by admonishing Tamina for being on the apron in the first place.
