There are oil rings to keep things tidy, minimize oil leakage into the combustion chamber and there are compression rings to provide the pressure for combustion. A leakdown will ONLY test for the compression rings.

It's very possible the compression rings are ok, but the oil rings are clogged from overheating or excess contamination from dirty oil
