Hi  Will

Without seeing the full layered file that would be hard to diagnose (e.g. blend settings, opacity settings etc.  It would be just a big guess from what can be seen in the thumbnails of the image your provided.  Any change you could share the layered file to have a look.

I do understand your issue with the Smart Object as changes only apply to the Smart Object Layer.  There is a work around and that is once you have all layers in place, select the Smart Object and all desired lecels above (e.g. all but the Hue/Sat adjustment layer) and convert all of those Layers to a Smart Object.  You can then apply camera raw to this new combined Smart Object and have it affect all of the Layers.

Hope this helps.
