From what I understand an Armigerous Clan is called that because while it is recognised as a clan by Lord Lyon, it lacks the leadership of a chief. This leads the Armigerous members of the clan to lead it.

Quite Correct...until a) A descendant is found or b) A derbhfine is held.
Also many clans without a Chief may have Chieftains as the next senior branch such as a Territorial Family.
