That's a good point about the location of the ball regarding the sideline. My answer(under NF) is that because the pylon is out of bounds, airborne A cannot score a touchdown by touching the pylon from the front or the side facing out of bounds.

My question is what if airborne A touches the side of the pylon facing the field of play? To me this would be the only case where airborne A would be granted a touchdown.
