rsync needs only 2 arguments, not 3.
You are here passing /var/lib/pgsql/data /var/lib/pgsql/11/data/
secondary_ip:/var/lib/pgsql/data/
and if you try to do that, you will end up copying the content of the
first folder into the third.
Therefore your secondary database will contain what on the primary is in
/var/lib/pgsql/data/ (guess, 9.6.0)
Also, I do not think it best practice (or perhaps not correct at all) to
use '--size-only'

from which folder are you running that? And what is the PGDATA of your
standby server?
