I think of it being like the Maiden powers.

Maidens - The last person in your thoughts is the candidate for the powers to go to, but if they're not a young female, the powers go to someone random. They said it's not uncommon for a Maiden's last thoughts to be of the person who murdered them, and that's why people were actually hunting the Maidens back in the day.

Ozpin - The last person in your thoughts is the candidate for your soul to go to, but if they're not a young male, your soul goes to someone random. Cinder was Ozpin's attacker and murderer, and if he didn't have time to realize he was going to die and focus his thoughts on someone in particular, then it makes sense that his last thoughts would be of Cinder.
