Locus is wrong. Cloud Atlas not science fiction. It doesn't belong on any science fiction list. Obvious whoever it is at Locus that put Cloud Atlas on that list has not read it at all.

Why isn't it science fiction? The story may start in the past (like many SF stories) but it continues into the far future.
