iTunes Match inconsistencies

In iTunes I see that some of my files have "Matched AAC Audio File" as Kind and "Uploaded" as the iCloud Status. This seems to be somewhat contradictory. Any ideas how to "fix" this and have it reflect as matched? It seems the file had to be found in the iTunes library or it wouldn't have got the "Matched" in Kind.

When iCloud Music Library scans your music those items that can be matched with existing content in the iTunes Store will get the status Matched, content that is unique to your library and eligible for iCloud Music Library will be uploaded. I guess If you later remove your local download and subsequently download the copy from iCloud Music Library, or download to a different computer, then its kind becomes Matched AAC Audio File rather than its original format.
