I see no part of the travel that allows for a player, while holding the ball, to legally jump and land aside from the 2-footed jump stop.
In the play presented, the player caught the ball while on the floor. It doesn't say whether it was on one foot or two feet.
If it was with both feet on the floor, there is no legal way for the player to jump and return to the floor. When the player jumps from both feet, one of the feet would be considered the pivot foot (think that is in a case play) and...

If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal.

If the player caught the ball with one foot on the floor, the player could jump, but would have to land with both feet simultaneously for it to be legal and landing on one foot is not landing on both simultaneously.

If one foot is on the floor:
It is the pivot when the other foot touches in a step.
The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. Neither foot can be a pivot in this case.

Am I missing something or are we just seeing the play differently?
