How congested an area is should have no impact on a block/charge call or no-call, IMO. In fact, I think you handled this correctly, and a block on the player prone on the floor is the correct call, also IMO.

You do need to look for potentially dangerous situations, but basketball is a contact sport and many times players end up on the floor. You can't just blow every play dead when someone may get stepped on.
