Why am I not surprised?  The NCAAW bulletins - and we haven't had many - have reminded us the auto-foul for the arm bar is for contact away from the body. If the arm bar is next to/close to the body there's no foul unless there's continuous contact.
In real-time I was more inclined to put this under the defender raising his hands within his vertical plane and/or defending himself because contact was coming...mainly because he was in "retreat" mode (i.e., moving backwards) as opposed to moving forwards in "attack" mode.
