For the same reason, caption here applies to the dynamic block, not to
its contents.

The usual way to handle it is to provide a :caption argument in the
header, which will in turn create a "#+CAPTION" keyword above the table
upon updating.

However, I don't think that org-collector handles it. You may want to
patch it (you can look at `org-clocktable-write-default' for an
example).
