I believe that is the fee paid by Kano to send the payout transaction. He pays a comparably high fee because of the very large number of outputs.
This is paid out of his own fee (99% sure anyway) and does not affect you.
This was the last transaction sent by him, which pays a 0.00042000 fee, which is similar to the fee amounts you have in your screenshot. Mind linking to the specific transactions?
Kano's fee is tiny, it normally wasn't picked up when block fees were much higher. But now with blocks accepting 99.99% of fees, Kano's small token fee gets picked up and our blocks fees are sent out and included now, no waiting for out next block anymore.
