I think "leads from" is to make it clear that A is directly in front of B.
Just A leads B could mean A is anywhere in front of B, eg. A leads the championship.
It's a common phrase in horse racing commentary. "A from B with C following". It gets the order clearly in a very short time (horse races are over quickly)
