To better describe it, the firstbasemen was moving towards the plate as if to field a potential bunt when the pitcher threw a pickoff attempt to said firstbasemen. A balk was immediately called and the announcers (I know, I know) said that this was a result of the firstbasemen moving towards the plate when the throw was made. The NFHS rule you point out just referes to the pitcher dropping the ball and it not crossing a foul line or faking a throw to first. Hope this better describes the sitch.
