TheWoWDBI was having trouble getting the key to work when clicking on the ball. The clickable area is not where the gears appear, which is above the ball.
If you stand between the baskets to the left of Old Poot Poot and mouse over the ball's left outer edge, you'll find the clickable area between 7 and 11 o'clock.

The button (spinning gears) to release the NPC is well above his head.
He gives you a lift back up to the quest reward NPC ;)
The Key drops off [npc=60090] who is walking back and forth in front of the Yeti so you don't have to fight random mobs until the key drops.
Once you have the key the gears to release the yeti are above his head. After he is free he will give you a ride back to the Waystation.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lucky Yakshoe
While you were gone, I saw a group of grummles coming down the Burlap Trail. It was led by my Brother Yakshoe. But then the Knucklethumps attacked. They took my brother and his grummles north. Please, <name>! Save my brother. He always has bad fortune and no luck, but he is my brother.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Snackrifice
They took my grummles! Hozen don't eat grummles, but yeti do. And the Knucklethumps have a yeti. Please rescue my grummles. Cut them down or let them out of cages. Rescue them any way you can. Many fortunes and rewards if you do this.
