The kingdom has fallen, Two of the world's most powerful fighters are dead, Yang, also a finalist, is missing an arm, The entire world comunications network is down, the other three kingdoms saw Atlas waging war on Vale, Ozpin is missing and RWBY went to hell in multiple ways. Oh and the dragon attracting Grimm to the city isn't even close to being dead.

Pyrrha did nothing but unlocking Ruby's eye wings and Ruby just paused the dragon.

That sounds like a loss. Well... Ruby stopped the dragon and scared Cinder away, thus putting a stop to Cinder's plans, so... Sorta victory?

Pyrrhic victory implies you suceeded in your stated objective, which they did not entirely do. This was more a bittersweet ending leaning on getting fucking rekt.
