+1 to Rut's answer.
Holding (and IBB) are those calls where, philosophically, it has to have a material affect on the play for it to be considered a foul.
So, on a punt that's fair-caught, there's no way that a hold by the receiving team could've had an effect on the play, because the restriction couldn't have taken away the kicking team's ability to make a tackle.
