In the Rogers Redding book I purchased last year he distinguishes between an illegal kick and illegally kicking the ball. The kick here was legal (meaning the infraction occurred during a legal kick) but the kick by R was illegally kicking the ball.
If K had gone beyond the LOS and kicked the ball it would be an illegal kick and treated as a fumble. And, the same if R had caught the ball and kicked it (NCAA's definition of a return kick) it would be also treated as a fumble as that too is an illegal kick.
