Wave Starting before UnPause Waves

I have a strange situation that I have been unable to track down thus far. I have 4 levels in my game and they each have Pause Global Waves checked on for the last spawner when it completes. The first 3 complete properly and waves are paused until I call the UnPause function. However, for some unknown reason I am getting the fourth level/wave 1 to start before I call the UnPause function. I received both the WaveStarted and LevelStarted callback events before I call UnPause. The interesting thing, though, is that the Level and Wave don't actually start. There is some time that passes while my game goes through the cutscene and other code before eventually getting to my code that calls UnPause. So when UnPause is finally called, it starts the level and wave at the correct time. 

Now, you might think that it's a non-issue then because it technically doesn't start until I call UnPause, but I am reliant upon the LevelStarted callback to perform some important tasks. Also, because it gets LevelStarted early, I'm advancing my level number and then at some point it is thinking it is at the 5th level instead of 4th level and since there isn't a 5th level yet then things go bad.

I don't know whether this is an issue I've created myself somehow, but I can't see anything different between the previous levels that work and this one that doesn't. I'm hoping you might have some thoughts as to how this could possibly called LevelStarted/WaveStarted before I call UnPause.
