How can I properly airblast projectiles when around teammates?

How can I properly airblast projectiles when around teammates? - Orange and White Dr Pepper Can on Black Wooden Table

As a Pyro, I'm fine reflecting even fast-moving projectiles back at the shooter-- when I'm on my own. However, when one of my teammates is nearby, whenever I reflect an enemy projectile, regardless of where I reflect it, it flies up at a weird angle (I've only noticed this with rockets and grenades as I don't get much opportunity reflect other projectiles).

Is there a way I can prevent this, as it really weakens my strategy when, for example, a medic is pocketing me, and I'm trying to reflect kill a soldier and my reflected rocket flies in a random direction?
