It's effectively the same phenomenon, but on a much larger scale with different substances. I'm not familiar with the cloud composition on Jupiter, but I imagine there's some kind of cycle where they condense out and fall down, and boil up again like Earth, that prevents the atmosphere saturating and becoming homogenous.
