In a nutshell, it would be great if we added "Container" to references we
make to the container image (in conversation and docs).
I tend to say "Docker Base Image" - that's the terminology upstream
Docker uses: https://docs.docker.com/articles/baseimages/
I think in the context of Docker, i.e. when you already know you are
talking about the Docker daemon and Docker containers, then "Docker
Base Image" is clear enough.
I think when you don't have that context to begin with and you hear
"Docker Base Image" then it is not so clear. I'm fine with
incorporating their terminology so we can be more clear though:
Docker Container Base Image ?
Unfortunately we have to balance clarity with convenience. The longer
it gets the more people won't like it so that is something to
consider.

I agree with Colin - Docker Base Image is what we should use when
talking about Docker images which are then used in Docker Layered Images
as a base layer on top of which you can build. Please don't make the
terminology too complicated.
If you are in context of Docker you can safely use Base Image and
Layered Image. If you talk in general, adding "Docker" will bring you to
the right "namespace".
Do we need a documentation of this somewhere on Fedora Wiki?
