Yes, sounds like this was an IFF.

Your sole criteria should be - can it be caught with ordinary effort by an Infielder (yes, field conditions, ability/age of players, etc should be part of that equation)

You mention the purpose of the rule... and you have that right, but by your description, if the fielder intentionally let the ball drop, wouldn't he have been able to complete a relatively easy double play?
