There's no defined/required wake turbulence separation between a departing aircraft, and a following landing aircraft on the same runway (unless opposite). Noone has put into the rules that we shall consider a go-around in this case. If that is the case, it would be a "local rule".
But:
"Go around!"
"Going around"
"TCAS RA"
"Roger" (I not responsible for separation anymore)
PS: I'm joking!
