Legal catch over fence?

I saw a highlight from a recent college game where an outfielder leaps to rob the batter of a home run and goes completely over the outfield fence during the process of making the catch. Is this a legal catch? I thought the player must remain or "land back" in play for the catch to be legal.
I am not an umpire so please forgive me if this question sounds stupid.
