I put an S21 in my jersey pockets without an issue. The not 20 is just a little bigger.
You can put it in your center pocket and turn it sideways so it wedges in the bottom of the pocket.
This gives me some confidence. But does your phone stick out at all past the pocket? My Note doesn't stick out on my Castelli jersey because the pockets are deep enough. But my Arden jersey isn't as deep.

I put my iphone in a waterproof case that sticks out my back pockets. It has never launched, ever, and yesterday I hit a pothole big enough to flat my rear tire, knock my front brake magnetic aero cap off, and almost send me flying. The thing with jersey pockets is that they are basically super shock absorbers since they are soft and pliable. If your jersey was as hard as plastic/metal, yeah, it would go flying. Of course, if you stuff that rear pocket so full that it's stretched out, then it'll start launching stuff when you bounce.
This is also reassuring. It does feel a bit bouncy, which made me think it could either act like a shock absorber and help, or act like a trampoline and make it launch!

I use a holster with clip, which clips tightly to my jersey pocket. Also provides some protection for the phone. Never had a problem with it launching. https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/kingsource-vertical-swivel-belt-clip-holster-pouch-belt-case-with-clip-holster-cover-cell-phone-pouch-holder-sleeve/13837743 This is very practical. Do you clip it to the inside?

Couple phones seen launched.
Some were just riding really bouncy, or rapidly shifting weight in aero.
The tightness and elasticity of your Jersey also plays a role.
The heavier the phone, the easier it is launched.
Physics....
Theoretical physics and practical physics rarely play out the same with this many variables :/ If you've see some launch, I don't think it's worth the risk without fixing it in place somehow.

a cheap answer is to wrap a few thick rubber bands around it. it increases the friction of the phone to the point where it's tougher to slide it out. no guarantee of anything, of course, but it costs a quarter and is better than nothing. . .
On a similar note, I find a silicone phone case provides enough friction that the phone doesn't move (even when sticking out the top of the pocket). Without a case the phone slides a lot more.
Another clever trick! I think I'll test some of these one out (jumping up and down inside, first)
