That's because IFFHS ranks completely off of inter-league competition, and the MLS just now started giving a shite about the Concacaf champions league. We were in the 100's last year.
It's pretty much impossible to really rank the leagues by any system--even say the top European leagues --other than impression and opinion because of exactly the point you make: even head to head doesn't really tell the story because of the extreme variation in how seriously clubs take inter league matches.
Just like using Europa League so heavily in UEFA league rankings really skews the real reflection of league strength when a Man City or Juventus ect is just playing filler to rest stars for league play against clubs that are treating the match like their own CL final.

Correct.
These rankings have the Bundesliga ranked behind the Brazilian league.
