This difference could indicate that Pyke supports by providing cover for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Pyke.
Additionally, when Kai'Sa plays with Pyke on the same team, she typically receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Pyke does a decent job of protecting Kai'Sa in teamfights.
