Don't follow. A community ban holds only when it is effectively

So I understand... if twelve admins say, User:X is community banned, but
one
admin says, "No, he's really a nice guy, for reasons A, B, C, I'm
unblocking," and does... he can overrule them all?
Generally, yes, if he's acting in good faith. Community bans work by
consensus. If there is no consensus, that's where Jimbo or the Arbcom step
in.
