With 70% tenacity Admiral Ackbar as lead he has 80% tenacity
Vs 65%+ potency will give AA the min of 15% chance to resist.
Unmodded L80 Max Emperor Palpatine in lead has 79% potency.
Basically it is like AA has 0% tenacity.
I see a lot of people always doing the math with potency/tenacity but I don't think that's how it works.
Example: Palp has 80% potency so he has an 80% chance to apply a detrimental effect.
Ackbar has 70% tenacity so when Palp applies the detrimental effect, AA then has a 70% chance to resist it. Just think of it the other way around. My Rey has 60% tenacity for example. Againt opponents with lower potency say 30%, they will still apply a detrimental effect. How can that be when her Tenacity beats out there potency? Because its not 1 minus the other it's a chance of either. I'm no expert though but that's the only way it makes sense to me. Correct me if I'm wrong though guys

It is math. Just as metxchris has described. This is coming from the developers on how it works.
Below are two posts by the developer explaining
Chance to resist = tenacity - potency. Chance to resist can't go below 15%

Just cause you think it works like that, doesnt mean it works like that... Besides, as mentioned above, devs confirmed the workings

Potency HELPS apply detrimental effects.
Tenacity HELPS resist detrimental effects.
Neither one directly applies or resists effects. The chance to resist an effect as commented on by the devs is
Resist Chance = max(15%, Tenacity-Potency)
Using this with your two examples, AA has a 15% chance to resist, and Rey has a 30% chance to resist.
