Super 2 status is a floating point. See this definition.

However, the top 22 percent of each year’s class of players with between two and three years of service time that also spend at least 86 days (half a year of MLB service) on a 25-man roster or on the Major League DL are also deemed eligible and referred to as “Super Two” players. These players will be eligible for arbitration prior to reaching their third year of service and commonly go through the arbitration process four times, as opposed to the standard three.

That means a few trades or a bad ST that results in some players not accruing service time could drop the threshold enough to capture those two. See this article from MLBTR.
