While the interface for adding featured content that is provided with Community limits you to the same group the content is in or the entire site, the underlying functionality is not limited in this way. Any content can be featured to any group. So ContainerId is the group the content is in, while TargetContainerId is the group where the featured item will be displayed. 
 So using ContainerID on the list query would list all items that exist in the ContainerId group that are featured anywhere 
 and using TargetContainerId would list all items that are featured to the TargetContainerId group that are anywhere on the site.
