It is not a matter of different meanings but of different requirements: SC 2.4.6 requires that headings describe the topic or purpose of the relevant content, but not that headings are available. In other words, *if* headings are available, they need to be descriptive. SC 2.4.10 requires that headings are available for every section, hence the term "section headings".
