No. It is obviously a judgement call on the umpire's part, but based on your description, it was not an ordinary pop up. The call is not based on where the ball lands, but rather on the effort needed by the infielders. So if the infield is playing in, a pop up just behind 2B may not be an infield fly. With that same pop up, the infield playing at regular dept will result in an obvious infield fly.
