Technical nitpick: the hashes are not hashed (again), but rather cryptographically blinded. This is not reversible, so seems like a hash, but computations can be done on it which result can in some cases be seen by the server. This is actually all very clever, and described in a paper by Apple, linked from the technical summary article.
