Probably not.

Yes, there is a mathematical equation or algorithm based on reports
[reporter or spamtrap] vs 'reputation' points influenced by traffic
which is nonspam described here -- What is the SpamCop Blocking List
(SCBL)? - http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/297.html

Good.  It was probably no harm done.  Be more careful in the future.
There is an additional step which can be taken which is to email an
apologetic recant to the reported/notified with a copy to a deputy so
that if there is actual 'trouble', ie a listing, your recant can
facilitate its repair.

> Is there anyway to unreport a piece of spam?

No.  When you mail your report, it is mailed and it is reported.  A
deputy doesn't 'unreport' something because you erred.  Under
conditions, a deputy will manually delist something whose listing was
entirely in error.
