In 1.16.2 when you have levitation and are shifting you are unable to float off the block you are on. This is possible in 1.15.2 and you are able to walk off it but not in 1.16.2
Recreation
Open 1.16.2 go into a world with cheats enabled.
Then find a drop of a few blocks
Place a block above you head
Give yourself levitation `effect give @s levitation 10000`
Hold down shift and try walk off the block.

Thanks for your help, but that's not really helpful, is it?
This will of course also work with normal levity, you just need a block above your head to stop you from gaining height.
