Not really.
That refers to the name which is the "Target" field of a SRV record,
which must (as with the "Host" field of a MX record) be a name with an A
and/or AAAA record and NOT a CNAME record.
In this case, the name being asked about (which has a SRV label format)
has a CNAME record (as a consequence of an apparent wildcard CNAME,) so
that is what any query for that name gets as a reply.
