Not the same. In the blocked shot case, the ball is often flying into the bleachers or somewhere such that the shooter was not going to be playing it anyway. Additionally, not ALL contact is considered incidental, just some types and amounts of contact.
However, landing on the player who is holding the ball almost certainly prevents them from being able to make some sort of play with the ball.
