Seems silly to me that they are emphasizing the "one foot on the ground" for this sole purpose but perhaps you're right.

I think it should be a block as the defender has to allow the player to land after catching the ball in the air.
I disagree. If the defender has the spot before the offensive player jumps to receive the pass then the onus is on the offense to avoid contact whether he/she lands before contact or not. This is why I was asking if the "one foot on the floor" part was the operative here.
