There is a huge difference between a metaphor (resemblance) and contradiction (stating it is and isn't something at the same time).

What’s the “resemblance” of “running in the cloud” to “running on servers owned by someone else”?

It isn't a great name, but: it doesn't bare a contradiction in itself (contrary to "serverless"), there was already a tradition of drawing unspecified networks or internet as a cloud in diagrams. So "running in the cloud" as running "somewhere in the network we used to draw as a cloud" has an explanation.
Also note, I didn't state that there are only two types of names. I commented on what "bug" and "serverless" is.
