Your concern for the umpire asking the initial question is appreciated. However, if you'll look closely at what he was asking you'll see his question was answered pretty quickly.
He didn't say anything about the pitcher stepping to the rubber in the set position and quick pitching. He said the pither started in the set position and then raised his hands above his head before he delivered the ball. That's where he had some confusion, on the motion of the hands. He was told early on as long as the pitcher raised the hands and delivered the ball in one continuous motion it wouldn't be a balk.
