I don't get the difference. Other than the timing of the paycheck.

The timing of the paycheck is the issue.
A lot of (non-big name) tradpub authors seem to be living paycheck to paycheck so advances are effectively payday loans.
The big name guys are in a different league; their deals are effectively lump sum sales. The nominal royalty in the contract is irrelevant because nobody expects them to live long enough to earn out.
