I don't think it was an oversight. The conference leader will get to play the lower of the wild card, which makes sense. From there they went with a format that wasn't overly complicated but still allows for the potential to see many divisional rivalries be played out in a 7 game series.
From a regular season point of view, it's the whole point of having a wildcard.
