Travelling. FED 4.43.5B

And, I think that provides the answer to the original question.

The only way the case is travelling is if "placing the ball on the floor" (in some sort of controlled manner) is equivalent to "holding the ball."

Thus, I'd have a traveling violation in the original case for lifting the pivot foot before the ball was released on a pass or try. (The violation occurs when A touches the ball again.)
