Found refers to the record, not the child. If the child were a foundling, the parents would not be known or mentioned. In such a case the kirk session would sponsor the baptism.
Have you considered the possibility that there are two children here. The first John died and the name was given to a later sibling? That was very common.
You need to see the original records to be certain.
