The Schnee summon requires the foe to have pushed her beyond who she was at the time; the Boarbatusk is a symbol of her accepting Ruby as a team leader and growing as a member of the team, and the Arma Gigas was her determination to go to Beacon instead of remain in Atlas with her father, and she defeated it as one last test before he would let her go.

Conversely the Lancers didn't actually push her to grow as a person. The only reason she had that fight was because they attacked the ship she was in. I mean, it could be seen as her showing that she can defend herself alone, she's not as weak as everyone believes...but considering the ship crashed and then she was knocked unconcious, she didn't really grow from it.
