Aaaah, but these leaves are coming from the throne. They will replace the inadequate coverings provided to A&E.
But the point about the skins being a foreshadow of Christ is spot on.
Also, there is the fact that certain leaves do have healing properties, and the emphasis in 22 is on healing.
Of course I may have this all wrong, but it is the best contrast between leaves and fruit that I could come up with!
