Traditionally relays are much more indiscriminate, pushing posts that are visible to their server to other servers which subscribe to their relay.
FediBuzz is newer and much more specific.
I think the idea is that it's feeding specific content to you as boosts, because boosts are one of the things that make a server notice posts.
Other people on your server will then be able to discover that post through hashtag searches etc, regardless of how your server ended up noticing it.
