By leaning backwards after the shooter goes airborne they are no longer vertical, and any subsequent contact is on the defender.
If this were a question about a block/charge call, instead of a possible shooting foul, then the thing about not moving towards the offensive player would come into affect. No?

Verticality and location always apply.
And, a "block/charge call" can be a "shooting foul."
I'm really not sure what you are asking, here.
