i think the rank of jonin is the rank that a kage only control,because as far as i know the only need to become a jonin is a recommendation letter since sakura and shikamaru are really popular after the war,many high level ninja recommend them into a jonin class,in case of naruto he never become a jonin because he is not a chunin and think kakashi forbids naruto to take the chunin exams because he knows that is unfair for other genin because he is powerful,but a giving a kage title is a different case because the kage has a power to chose who is next successor regardless their ranks and only need is approval of other jonin that's why naruto becomes a kage skipping the rank of chunin and jonin and i think the jonin panel has no objection on that, because they know that naruto is stronger than them.The new episode i think confirms that gaara also skipping the rank of chunin and jonin successing his father(Fourth Kazekage) although he is still a genin.
