It would be more accurate to say that "the hammer on a medium or hard blow into check, then released, WHILE THE KEY IS STILL HELD DOWN will rise to the position of the _drop_ dimension from the string being raised by the "properly" sprung rep lever which is regulated to the drop dimension." If you just release the key, the hammer will simply return to rest position. Of course, what you describe is not something that is normally done by piano players (at least not deliberately - I suppose it could happen inadvertently) but only in the course of regulation by technicians...
