Same wording, different timing. The 'combo' that Cloudshift does with Tidehollow Sculler is because the sculler's first ability triggers when it enters the battlefield (but doesn't happen immediately), so in response to that trigger, you exile it with cloudshift, making its leave the battlefield trigger to fire next. And since things resolve in reverse order that they've been triggered, the LTB finishes first and then the ETB goes on to exile it permanently.
But with Conjurer's closet, you can't do that because its ability occurs at a specific time in a turn and you can't use it in the middle of a trigger resolving.
