Welpe provided the rule citation.
In FED, the ONLY thing that matters with respect to if K can advance upon recovery is where the kick ends. The ball touching the ground (or not) beyond the NZ, being in flight (or not) beyond the NZ, being touched (or not) beyond the NZ... all of those things do not matter.
If K recovers a scrimmage kick in or behind the NZ, they may run, pass, or even kick the ball again if they choose.
