Watching some pro 14 on sat and sun, I questioned some decisions; Dragons’ 11 disallowed try- was foot in touch ‘clear and obvious’?

This IRB clip suggests that the arriving player must clearly step over the ball, what if the arriving player places their hands on the tackled player whilst supporting their body weight therefore forming a cover over the ball with both behind the ball?
Doesnt sound like there’s anything going on in that scenario – unless the pair of them deny a fair competition of the ball. Remember the tackled player also should release AND get up or roll away. If they don’t and that stops an opponent from playing the ball, then they’d be liable to penalty.
