I think the main difference in your case is that FRONT physically pushed her hands out to move BACK out of the way. Even if entitled to vertical space, she cannot intentionally (not an I foul) push someone she knows is there out of the way.

In a jumping situation, FRONT (once in the air) cannot control her height (gravity does that nicely.) If BACK is there, then BACK is subjecting herself to contact which is either a no-call (my personal thinking) or a foul on BACK.

The point that I was making had to do with the fact that BACK violated FRONT's VERTICAL PLANE in order to grab the ball, however, BACK NEVER created any contact. Therefore, in my opinion, BACK never committed a foul.
