There is perhaps the two exceptions?:

That the contents submitted to Wikipedia (or other source) was done so by
the person (or employer) contributing to OpenStack docs and are presumably
free to re-licence under the terms of their choice (unless exclusively was
provided to the original source).

If the rights holder enjoys exclusive ownership over the content, then they
could also choose to re-licence for contribution to OpenStack docs, more
for the example of a private blog or publication owner.

Although, I agree these two examples are rare - but entirely plausible.
