I would argue that "upright" refers to the riding position of the person on the bike, rather than the type of handlebars. If drop bars are way high and result in a relatively upright riding position, it's an upright bike in my eyes.
I ride MTB bars exclusively with anywhere from 24mm to 60mm of rise and I consider every one to be upright because that's how I set up the bike. The really hi-rise bars I've tried had too much pullback for my tastes. I seem to be most comfortable with between 9 and maybe 15 degrees of sweep. The worst thing I've ever ridden, by far, was the Albatross bar. Having the grips almost parallel to the top tube just does not work for me.
