I once heard in a homily that the curing of Naaman’s leprosy by bathing in the Jordan (2 Kings 5:10) was a backflow of grace from Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan. The reasoning is that Jesus’ baptism was a singular moment in history (much like all of Our Lord’s life) and that the events of Jesus’ life have repercussions and graces that flow in all directions in history. Did I understand this right?

Is there anything written about the connection between Naaman’s curing in the Jordan and Jesus’ baptism?
