No there is no specific ruling that would support such an action. But just like the rules in basketball, the rules are not limited to the listed violations when it comes to unsportsmanlike act. My point is if we want to be technical, ever time a player claims they are held, blocked in the back or blocked below the waist we should have a foul. I would just tell the kid to stop flopping and move on. There is no way I can imagine throwing a flag for this.
