An out for avoiding a tag does not apply if the fielder did not have possession.
The "about to receive" concept applies only to whether a fielder impeding the runner is obstruction or not.
Leaping while running is not illegal in itself as long as it is not over a fielder ("looking like a football player going over the top, or a high jumper trying to clear the bar", as Mr. Physiology said)
