Zhonya's during Knockup

I've noticed over many games that people can Zhonyas mid air sometimes. What is going on here? It happens alot with yasuo but other champions like Xin's knockup this happens to as well. Zhonyas shouldn't be able to do this!

Some knockups like Yasous ult are no "real" knockups and get reduced by tenacity or removed by cleanse/mikaels/qss so you can activate zhonyas. I'm not 100% sure about this, but maybe tenacity also reduces the stun part (the part that disables zhonyas) from real knockups like xins q.

Edit: LoL wiki: Through the use of cleansing effects or tenacity, players can remove the stun and subsequently activate abilities such as Flash or champion-specific dashes to break the airborne's move block.
