I would really have to see this to be sure. But from the description, if this pitcher has both hands over his head and stops, that could be considered a set. The problem now is he has to complete the pitch/pickoff without hesitation or stopping again anywhere in the delivery. Look at a couple of these Japanese guys to see what I am talking about. IMHO, I do not think that too many 'kids" can do this move properly and would probably be balking with a double set somewhere along the line.
Don't get too hung up on where the set is (as you stated high, low) be more concerned that there is in fact a "set" and that there is only one. If the pitcher is able to confuse your runners within the confines of the rules, then he has done his job. My son was a RHP that would nail runners at 1st time after time by making the runner believe he wasn't coming after them (again within the rules). It's part of the pitcher's job.
