Google Play Current Installs Higher Than Active Installs

I currently have an android application available on the Google Play store. Under Current/Total installs, the "current" installs is higher than the "total" number of installs. How exactly did this happen? Does this mean that people are sharing the application / getting it without paying? Or is this normal somehow?

I understand that current installs means the total number of people who still have the application, minus any uninstalls, whereas the total amount is every install with uninstalls. So how exactly can by current be higher than my total?

Current installs is the number of devices where your app is installed.

Total installs is the number of users.

That means that some users installed your app on more than one device.

If you hover over the question mark in Google Play, it is explained in the tool tip:
