Yes, I was. The two different angle brackets have two different
meanings. You can even use both. Here's an example from the Exim test
suite:

${lookup dnsdb{>|mx=<;mxt1.test.ex;mxt2.test.ex}}

Interpretation:

>| means separate multiple output information with |

mx= means lookup MX records (default is TXT)
<; means use ; for the separator of the list of things to lookup

... and the rest is the list. So if you just had

${lookup dnsdb{<:a.b.c}}

it would assume an input list separated by colons (which is of course
the default) and then find just one item in the list.

Is it clear now?
