Yes, after red lands on white's back, white gives him a bit of a backside but if we're concentrating only on the jumping action and not the initial push, red is still fouling first by not jumping vertically.
Red jumps back into white because if he would have jumped straight up he's nowhere near enough to the ball to have any chance at rebounding.
I'm standing by a foul on white on the the jump.

Red has no requirement to jump vertically unless white is stationary (he's not). If both red and white had jumped up, they would met from equally favorable positions...no foul at all. Red only lands on white's back because white moved into/under red and took reds legs out from under him.
