Didn`t even had the idea until a friend pointed it out:

If 3 units are placed like this:

Unit A Unit B Unit C

Assuming Unit A are 10 Orkboys, Unit B are 15 Orkboys and Unit C are 30 Orkboys.

Unit A can use the leadership characteristic of unit B, but since Unit B can use the leadership characteristic of Unit C it has LS 30.

So would Unit A also have a LS characteristic of 30?

No.

Unit A has leadership 10, but can use leadership 15 in place of its own leadership.
Unit B has leadership 15, but can use leadership 30 in place of its own leadership.
Unit C has leadership 30

It's unclear. Personally I don't think they can because the rule says you can "use" the leadership of a unit within 6", not that it becomes. Unit B can use the leadership of C, but it doesn't BECOME the leadership of C.
