I think you can possibly get better results in 7.3 and earlier
by using NOT EXISTS.

NOT EXISTS (
 select lead_id from
  purchase where lead_id=lead.id
  and member_id=21101)

AND NOT EXISTS (
 select * from affiliate_lockout
 WHERE member_id=21101 and
  affiliate_locked_id=lead.affiliate_id)

Doesn't this condition end up giving you a subset of the rows in the first
