I think you highlighted the key thing; he was coming down from a jump, so to establish yourself as a runner you have to get your feet down and start running. He got his feet down, but was going down to the ground at the same time. It's the same as a leaping catch, and when you're doing that, you have to control the ball as you go down. The ball clearly came out slightly when he hit the ground, so no catch.
Yeah, as described, that's a no-catch. Let the butthurt flow in Dallas.
BTW, as far as calls being reversible / reviewable after the fact - regardless of the idea's merit, it won't happen any time soon in the NFL. Once the next snap occurs, anything that happened prior is immutable. Otherwise you'll end up with the possibility of every single questionable call being reviewed after the fact. I seriously doubt you could find a significant amount of support in the organization for such a thing.
