Kagi is a search aggregator, so those results are from Google.
Kagi is a search engine. They do their own indexing, and they aggregate search results.
It's right in their docs.

I guess an assumption that no-one would do both blinded me to that fact.
You sure you’re not thinking of searxng?
No, but SearX does similar things. I've been learning about Kagi recently, and as far as I can tell, they don't index pages on their own, they just use APIs provided by the real search engines.
They do both. Which is how they're able to provide some of the more unique filters and lenses. They maintain their own indexes.
