Maybe so, but that case is establishing the principle that a player is not allowed to subvert the travel rule by setting the ball down on the floor then moving in a way to gain an advantage (i.e., get a more advantageous position) that would be traveling had they continued to hold the ball.
If they set the ball down, roll over, then pick it back up in a position that is more favorable, I'm calling traveling.
