Question Approach Segment gradient Vs PANS OPS missed app. gradient

Hi all,
maybe one of you can explain me where i'm wrong in my understanding of regulations...

A 2 engines aircraft with one engine out should be able to climb at least 2.1 % Gradient.
However, according to PANS OPS, a missed approach procedure is constructed as to require a 2.5% Gradient in the intermediate missed approach segment...
Does that mean that an aircraft with one engine out climbing at 2.2% (for example..) during a go around following the published missed approach procedures would not meet the MOC (min obst. clearance) provided by the missed app. proc. ? and consequently can hit an obstacle?
I must have misunderstood something somewhere, please clarify me
