As a general case, I agree with mbyron here. But, if the glove is unintentionall dislodged and then caught, I'd rule a catch.

Two outs. F6 leaps for a liner. As the ball hits the glove, the ball pops straight up in the air and the glove comes off F6's hand. F6 instinctively grabs the glove and the ball falls into it and is secured. F6 opens the glove, shows the ball to the umpire and then turns the glove over to drop the ball on the mound.

I'd rule a catch and an out.
