Yes, this is correct.

I think I do miss your point. Why anyone on Earth would like to configure a
backup job in such a way that the next job will intentionally run when a
previous job did not complete and intentionally setup cancelation of the
duplicated job?
IMVHO if I knew that my backup job is running for i.e. 8H then I'll never
schedule next backup job on 4H period and setup a cancellation of the
duplicate job because it will cancel every second job by design. It would
be insane, right?

Well, this is a job message which inform you about the cause of the job
cancelation, as the job termination status is "cancelled" and not "fatal
error".
What would you like to change in this message?
