We do have roof rack options for your leased 2018 Honda Pilot LX all-wheel-drive that has a naked roof with no fixtures. You can see all racks on the linked page and these include Yakima products. However the track-based roof racks like the item you referenced # Y01127 require drilling and permanent installation so they are not the best choice for a leased vehicle.
The best option that you can easily remove when it is time to return the leased Pilot is the Yakima CoreBar system made of parts # Y00422, # Y28TR and # Y06152. This roof rack gives you a 165-lb weight capacity for your kayaks or canoe and a wide 32-inch bar spread for stability. Please see the linked video for more on this rack.
For a great J-style kayak carrier that is also compatible with a canoe, I suggest the Malone Fold-Away 5 # MAL38FR. This carrier works perfectly with the CoreBar crossbars. To add a second kayak, you need additional straps # Y04031.
You can refer to the linked article on watersports carriers for help selecting the best match for your boats.
