The King of Vale (assumedly one of Ozpin's prior forms) appointed four of his closest allies into as the first professors, but soon after, the Council reserved the right to make judgements regarding headmasters. Remember after the Breach, the Council told Ozpin they would be reconsidering his position after the Vytal Festival ended, meaning they were considering replacing him. Ozpin is only the leader in the shadows, not the public eye, and since Leonardo had to be appointed by the public eye, Ozpin couldn't do anything.

Then there is the fact we have no way of knowing if Leonardo was already a professor before or after Ozpin's form before Oscar became Headmaster. We never got an age for the prior form, and Leonardo is clearly an older man, so if Ozpin's old form was younger than Lionheart or around the same age, there is the possibility Leonardo had the position before Ozpin even became headmaster of Beacon. And considering that Ozpin's prior form is more than likely the King, there would be no way for him to have appointed Leonardo in the interrim. The Great War was 80 years ago afterall, and we have no idea when the King died. Leonardo clearly isn't in his 80's, and his name follows the CNR, so he had to have been born after the war, so the one the king appointed wasn't him. With this in mind, Ozpin would have no political sway in appointing Leonardo until his next form, the one we associate with Ozpin, had become old to become Headmaster, at which point Leonardo could already have the position.
