It would mean something like "leading indirectly". Ductus relates to "conduct" as a verb- to conduct, to direct, to lead. Obliquus as oblique, indirect. I don't read Latin, but this makes sense of Leo Strauss' use of it in "Persecution and the Art of Writing". That book centers on the theme of "esoteric writing" or teaching: texts which indirectly conduct us to the truth.
