If, in the umpire's judgement, the ball was over foul territory when touched by the catcher (regardless of the position of the catcher himself), it is a foul ball. The fact that it touched the rubber before the catch makes it in effect a ground ball. Dead ball, runners return.
However, if it's coming down directly over the plate, it should be called fair.
