cannot be anything but, can only be one of the following
The expression فلا يخلو is short for
فلا يخلو أن يكون
which in this case is itself short for فلا يخلو أن يكون أحد اثنين
which is an expression that is usually followed by two options, as in the cited example. So the expression, fully stated, essentially means, "can only be of the following."
