"Collides with his legs" is a bit vague. Collided how? If he was sliding legally then I have a train wreck and no call.

"Had his legs contacted by the runner and then the umpire called the runner out." is also a bit vague. Contacted how?

If the runner goes in standing lowers his shoulders and collides/contacts the catcher's legs while he is in the air (or not in the air if he lowers shoulders into him) I very likely have malicious contact.

"I don't believe the contact was intentional at all" probably has as much info as any other, because if he collided or made contact and it did not appear intentional then the case for interference or MC is slim and the call incorrect.
