Keyword focus is only a guide to help you achive what Yoast recommeneds to be optimal content structure .

Meta Descriptions according to Google havent been used as a ranking factor since 2009, that said a well tuned meta description has other beneifits, such as improving CTR, of which CTR's could potentially have a connection to improved positions.

There could be a wealth of reasons why your page ranks, well formed headings, good content, good backlinks, good domain authority, low competition keyword etc etc etc.
