Try printing all fields from the pg_lock view and you may be
enlightened.

Transaction IDs are one example of a lock that is not on a relation.

Also be aware that if you are viewing a lock that is for some other DB
besides the one you're sitting in, the pg_class join will give nothing.

Also be aware that
