If you are using the local.conf you previously posted, the line:

IMAGE_FSTYPES = "tar.xz"

is overriding default configuration from rpi-base.inc in meta-raspberrypi
which is:

IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "tar.bz2 ext3 rpi-sdimg"

You can also consider using wic image format to generate a flashable image
(see Yocto documentation on how to do that).
