LrC Sky masking migrates into clearly defined non-sky elements.

Question

I love the way it works--until I noticed that it was masking into clearly defined areas of non-sky elements. I have been just going back in and painstakingly erasing/removing with a hard brush all the areas that it has softly masked so I don't get color influence in those elements. Am I doing something wrong? I follow the edit order recommended by adobe when editing images.

With my pics, Sky masks often blend into the non-sky elements. For example, here's an original pic and the compute Sky mask:

Usually, that blending works to my advantage, avoiding harsh boundaries when I make aggressive edits to the sky and/or non-sky.

Are there situations where after you make the desired adjustments to sky or non-sky, that blending is noticeable and undesirable?
