If my guess at what your goal is is correct, the following might work:

==
    location ^~ /documents/ {
      if ($arg_static = false) {
        proxy_pass http://upstream;
      }
      try_files $uri /test.html;
    }
    location = /test.html {
      expires 30s;
    }
==

But if you want to do anything else, you may be better off doing
the "error_page/return/location @" dance from the first example on
https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/depth/ifisevil/

Good luck with it,
