You are refering to this wording:. What this means is: If you transit from Portugal via Spain to Switzerand (destination), and you have not spent more than 24h in Spain, then you do not need to quarantine.
It is more clear in the actual legal act:
I can see what you are saying but I will have spent more than 24 hours in Spain.

As Switzerland is in the Schengen area then technically I would be entering Switzerland as transit then departing.
