Who Wins

Pre-6, you have a meaningful level 3 spike when you have E available — landing E on Leona before she can engage removes her primary threat and lets Draven freely deal damage.
Post-6, you should steal Leona's R if possible, which gives you a point-and-click stun that completely flips the all-in dynamic in your favor; without Leona's R, their engage pattern collapses.

Use E to chain Leona first, not Kai'Sa — Leona is the engage threat and neutralizing her CC window is more valuable than rooting the ADC.
After the E lands, use W for healing and Q for damage while Draven axes are active, keeping yourself between Leona and Draven.

You should roam when the wave is crashed and Draven has enough items to hold lane pressure — your R stolen from Leona or any mid-lane support makes you extremely dangerous in skirmishes.
Optimal roam timing is after a successful all-in that burns Leona's flash or R, as the bot lane threat is temporarily reduced and you can create picks mid.

Do not use E aggressively on Kai'Sa when Leona is unwarded and off cooldown — burning your only hard CC on the ADC leaves Draven completely exposed to a Leona all-in with no peel.
Always track Leona's position before committing your E.
