You haven't quoted anything which remotely states this.

A jump stop is legal. A player who otherwise meets the conditions for executing a jump stop goes for a try instead. He changes his mind and finishes the jump stop. Legal.
A player leaves the floor without having established a pivot. He may:
a. shoot, pass, or call a time out; or
b. return to the floor with both feet (neither may be the pivot).
No rule says that if this player goes up for shot he cannot come down in a jump stop.
What we used to call "up and down" is a violation only because the pivot foot has been established. That is NOT the case in the OP.
