Does it matter if on the same play if the block causes the ball to leave A1's hands before he catches it again and returns to the floor?

If the "block" prevents the release, it's a held ball.
If the "block" knocks the ball loose, play on.
If A1 "chooses" not to release the ball, or "chooses" to release it and then gathers it again, it's a violation.
99% of the time, it's either of the first two options.
