On a punt (logically and according to rule) the momentum of the ball comes from the foot of the kicker. The ball just bounces off the blocker. Here the ball was intentionally knocked out of the receiver's grasp toward the receiver's goal line by the defender. The receiver and the ball were barely moving at the time the ball was dislodged.

I see where you're coming from, but I think your interpretation of the rule is mistaken. But certainly I'm not expert...
