rulebook says that pitcher must:
1. turn on his pivot foot
2. lift pivot--jump move (which you described)
3. lift pivot by stepping backward off rubber

all of these must be accompanied with a non-pivot in the direction of the base.

Since in your example the pivot never moved and maintained complete contact with rubber, we have a balk. JMHO
