Same MN paid in subsequent blocks

I understand once a masternode gets paid, it's moved to the end of the payment queue again and the next payment will occur at some point after it moved up to the top 10% range, typically somewhere between 7-10 days.

I just browsed around the Dash blockchain and came across the two subsequent blocks 846851 and 846852:

https://explorer.dash.org/block/00000000000000248c48a9c2a2dab6f1101a49ecab3c8c83fedaed34cee5e3e2

You can see the same masternode got paid in both blocks, only 4 minutes apart. How is this possible?

This is a known event that sometimes happens with the current MN payment algorithm. It was just a very lucky node! In 12.4, with deterministic masternode payments, this shouldn’t happen in the future.
