My uneducated guess:

The app is in fact logged out, but it is still sending search logs back to YouTube using a device or session identifier. If you use YouTube logged out, for example, you’ll still have a history, which is tied to your session/device or something. There must be some system within YouTube that’s reconciling the TV’s logs back to your account, since it used to be your device.
