So a CATCH occurs when, after the ball is scored over the truss, the ball is either:
1. Caught by the same robot that threw it
2. Caught by a different robot on the same alliance
3. Caught by the Human Player.
Am I missing something here?

I think you're misinterpreting the rule which, admittedly, isn't the clearest (due in part, I think, to a team update that rewrote it).
"A CATCH occurs when a BALL SCORED over the TRUSS by a ROBOT’S ALLIANCE partner is POSSESSED by that ROBOT before contacting the carpet, the ROBOT which SCORED the TRUSS, or HUMAN PLAYER."
The 'before contacting' bit is applied to the carpet
and the robot that scored the truss
and a human player. So a catch only occurs when the ball is caught by another robot before contacting the carpet
or the tossing robot
or a human player.
