I think, its called "reverse block", since Hero is in position. And it is a valid argument for betting small with an in between hand. Often this is also the case, when we C-bet the flop as the preflop raiser. If Villain just call and check to us on the turn, it allows us to check back turn and see both cards for the price of one small bet.

However where this kind of goes out the window, is if Villain has any sort of significant check-raising frequenzy. In this hand that they might be tricky enough to C-bet flop and then check-raise turn, because they expect, than when they check to us, we are going to be betting at a waaaaay to high frequency. Which actually seem to be the case here, since OP think, a turn check is always week.

So a lot depends on the dynamics, and what we know about the Villain. A lot of players dont use check-raises, when they have the initiative. But good players do, and if our mentality is, that a turn check is always weak and an invitation to take the pot away, then we are very vulnerable to check-raises. So the more balanced line here is to check back. But against bad opponents, who are playing in a very face up manner, we can get away with a small bet, like OP did.
