Maybe you are looking at YouTube Partner videos, which partners are able to upload their own thumbnails and not rely on the Youtube's new algorithm that selects the thumbs from random spots.

Or maybe you are looking at older videos which did not use this new algorithm and selected the thumbnail from 3 predetermined points within the video, thus enabling the video producer to insert still images into those predetermined spots, thus producing a nice clear thumb of their choice.
