There is a good article on grantsrc's website that talks about blocking as "dancing" and how to determine who is "leading" the dance in order to judge forced touching.
But while the ball is in the air, if R2 is close enough to where the ball is coming down (i.e. in the OP, he's close enough to R1 to be blocked into him, and R1 is in or near the position where the ball is coming down), then contacting R2 (unless combating a block) would be KCI, since you don't yet know that R2 is not going to try to catch the ball.

If R2 is actively trying to block K, I agree with you.
