With a nod to pedantry:

In the case of RBS the disk loading is a factor, so being heavy or manoeuvring will have the same effect.

A win for aerodynamic forces over hydraulics is the cause of jack stall (aka servo transparency), again disk loading is a key factor.

In RBS the rotor is no longer flying properly, in jackstall the rotor is still flying but the controls can no longer overcome the feedback forces. Whilst similar I do not believe that they are the same, particularly where the rotor has a high hinge offset and phase angle is well off 90 deg as the effect of RBS will not be "textbook" and will be different to "jackstall" in the same type.
