There's a difference between iCloud backup and iCloud sync. They both use iCloud, but they are completely independent. That screen is not showing what is in the backup; it is showing what is synced to iCloud by virtue of having turned on iCloud Messages sync by opening Settings, tapping your iCloud user name at the top, then iCloud. There's a switch for Messages that presumably is on, which causes your messages to be synced to iCloud. You can view them by logging in to https://apple.com/icloud on your computer.
