I think you misread the docstring for org-show-context-detail:

This variable does not control how much text is hidden, but rather how
much context is revealed around a folded text.

Your misunderstanding may come from the fact that you are interested in
org-occur, which first folds everything inside lowest-level headings.

Consider agenda views. The relevant default value in
org-show-context-detail is (agenda . local). If you press <RET> on an
agenda entry which is located _inside folded subtree_, only the headline
will be revealed. However, if e.g. the headline and it's siblings are
already revealed, org-show-context-detail will not cause siblings to be
hidden.

Best,
