Who Wins

Pre-6, Lucian + Nautilus wins this lane — Nautilus hook into Lucian all-in is one of the strongest level 2 and 3 power spikes in the game, and your peel tools are reactive rather than proactive, meaning you will often be a step behind.
Post-6, the lane becomes more even because Yunara's R gives her sustained damage that Janna can extend with shields and disengage, but Nautilus ult into Lucian burst can still blow up Yunara before you respond.

Your best pattern is to use W to slow Nautilus or Lucian when they engage, immediately shield Yunara with E to absorb burst, and use Q knockup as a last resort to interrupt Nautilus ult or Lucian all-in.
Do not use Q aggressively to poke — your value is entirely reactive peel here, and wasting Q on poke leaves Yunara exposed to the hook combo.

You should not roam early in this matchup — Yunara is immobile pre-6 and Nautilus is one of the best supports at punishing an unpeeled ADC.
If you must roam, only do so after a successful shove that puts the wave under their tower and Yunara is safely at full health with no Nautilus hook available.

Do not position aggressively trying to W-poke Nautilus — he has enough tankiness to ignore it and your positioning forward gives him an easier hook angle onto you or Yunara.
Respect that Nautilus level 1 hook is a kill threat on Yunara if she is caught, so keep your Q available and stay between Nautilus and your ADC.
