That's the 'Type' you are talking about.. Rarity is 'Quality' of the loot. When they say same table, they mean quality of the loot. Chests fall under epic, crates/eggs under legendary.

If you're dropping an epic weapon, without a reroll, it has to be like Wheelspin->Epic->Weapon->Sacred shield of will.

Now, that could even be categorized like Epic->Weapon->Warrior->Sacred shield of will. Quite a lot of possibilities, its just faster when the computer does it :/ All the devs do is make a list and categorize the items and program the randomizer/shuffler which decides what you get as loot drop.
