Hi Sammi,
the Rθja parameter can be used to compare devices from different vendors to see, if there is a difference in their thermal behavior, but it can not be used for this kind of calculation. Therefore, the calculated value is not correct.
I recommend the following application note, which explains thermal calculations and characterizations in detail:
