It depends on where the defender is if that contact is incidental. We aren't talking about two players jumping more or less within their vertical plane, we are talking about a player in a disadvantaged position causing contact that leads to an advantage.

4-27-5 says it all. Contact that allows a tie up in this situation, is gaining an advantage and is a foul.
While the defender's location is relevant to determine whether the contact is incidental, it's not sufficient. What the contact itself does matters, as well. If he's leaning or pushing (most of the time, this is what happens), it's a foul. If he's just spooning, and he's not leaning or pushing or holding or pulling, then the contact had nothing to do with the result of the play.

Again, contact itself is never a foul. The contact must be of an advantageous nature, not just happening simultaneous with a good defensive play.
