Your definitions of "Slavic" and Slavonic" are not entirely accurate.  The term "Slavonic" can be used as a generic reference to all the languages in the family, such as Reginald de Bray's "Guide to the Slavonic Languages."  In this case, it doesn't just refer to OCS but to all of the the Slavic languages in general.

Slavonic refers to CS while Slavic is a generic word for a group
of languages issued from a common ancestor, Proto-Slavic.
