 The TTL feature is used to automatically get rid of a lease object rather than having clients do the work of checking a leasedUntil date.  This takes away one step, but you are still required to check to see if two clients tried to get a lease on the same object at the same time.  This is easily done in Azure Cosmos DB via the 'etag' property on the object.
