Based SOLEY on the two rules you posted:
The dumping doesn't count as its only one player (may be nitpicking, but it is plural in the rule, they could have said "player(s)” or some variation but chose not to do so). In addition, have you scrutinized every single drop all season and made determinations that each and every one improved the team? If a manager dropped an uninjured player but didnt add another back immediately (instead perhaps waiting for his/her favorite blog to make a post before deciding who to add), would you have called them out for violating a rule (I would hope not)?
For the second rule, the collusion doesn't fit as it clearly states it must be to the benefit of only one team and not both; they both benefit from this dual drop/add.
Now the deal itself is a little sketchy, as a commish I would be a little put off by it, but how crazy do you want to go with the ban hammer?
With waivers in place the opportunity for it to not work as they hope exists. If they are #1 and #2 in priority they have to burn those top spots to do this deal, so it has a real cost to them (and a benefit to everyone behind them in priority).
You obviously are a caring commish and want everything to be 100% fair, you even take the time to read the rules - many do not - and try to apply them as best as possible. In this case though, this is one I think you should let pass.
