A user with global administrator permissions will be able to publish everything in a space, even if the Publishing report is not showing all pages.
This could happen in the unlikely case a user creates a page and applies view restrictions for a user who is a global administrator
However, the page will be accessible by the global administrator because they are able to access the page overriding any restrictions and pages will be published no matter what restrictions may be in place on a per-page basis.
