Only root can write to /var/log, so wheel is irrelevant. And,
indeed, greetd logs are being written as root:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
psyduck:~% ls -la /var/log
total 7028
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 560 Jun 19 14:10 ./
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 64 Jun 20 18:09 ../
[…]
-rw-r----- 1 root root 1694 Jun 20 16:12 greetd-1.log
-rw-r----- 1 root root 8035 Jun 19 21:10 greetd-2.log
