Makes sense: Thereupon Azog came forth, and he was a great Orc with a huge iron-clad head, and yet agile and strong. The Moria-orcs that were among Merrry's and Pippin's captors were described as "smaller goblins" compared to both Ugluk and Grishnakh (also an uruk); not I think to be described as "great orcs." Similarly "some" of those who attacked the Company in Moria were "large and evil: black uruks of Mordor," distinct from the locals.
