Is Google Getting Too Smart?

Listing a home page without any of the search words on it.

Among my siters, I have one with a domain keyword1keyword2keyword3.tld. Not competitive keywords.
I also have a domain mylastname.tld, with my last name.

Now, when I do a search for keyword1keyword2keyword3 (without spaces), mylastname.tld is the first result and keyword1keyword2keyword3.tld is the second.

I don't mention the keyword domain anywhere on mylastname.tld.

As a matter of fact, mylastname.tld's index page consists of just a sign "this page is blank on purpose" and nothing else.

I have a few links from the keyword domain pointing to internal pages of mylastname.tld, but the home page of mylastname.tld is not linked to or mentioned anywhere.

This is getting really weird.

Could it be to do with links to mylastname.tld with the keywords in?

Well, not with links with anchor of keyword1keyword2keyword3.
I just don't see why mylastname would show for such query.

I face another scenario here. I switched host and uploaded the wrong site in site-a.tld and left it alone for around two weeks then realize my mistake and upload the same content intto site-b.tld and replace site-a.tld with the correct web pages.

Now whenever I search for site-a.tld it shows site-b.tld url and all its snippets effectively merging two domain into one.
