If brown is actually a darker shade of orange (Wikipedia), then how do we get light brown and not orange?
How is it possible to be light and a “darker shade” at the same time?

If by “light brown” you mean like a tan or khaki color, it would have to do with saturation–that is, sort of “watering down” the color with some blue tones. Neutral colors like gray and brown typically have a mix of a wide variety of colors, gray being the “true” neutral and brown being a bit heavier on the red/yellow tones.
