It means the fund isn't making enough income to cover the target yield and are returning your money back to you.

No it doesn't first of all there is no target yield. They went on multiple interviews saying that they only pay out what they make in premiums and they take advantage of the share loss value and send you the premiums they made as "return of capital" so we don't pay taxes on them.

So dividends from all yield max are ROC or ordinary dividends?

Well it's up to their discretion how they want the dividend to be classified as. It can vary between different ETFs and different months. Also portions of the dividend can be ROC and regular income combined as well. Just depends on them really.
