Yeah, if the motion had stopped then it is carrying, which isn't allowed. I don't think it matters how the ball came to be airborne, if you have lifted it above shoulder height and then hit it down, it is a high-stick.
I was always under the impression that it wasn't a high-stick if contact isn't made, but the rule says "attempts to contact an airborne ball", so I am clearly wrong.
