The answer is in the documentation:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/sql-createtable.html
The rules of such partitions is bound to row-wise comparisons. "For
example, given PARTITION BY RANGE (x,y), a partition bound FROM (1, 2)
TO (3, 4) allows x=1 with any y>=2, x=2 with any non-null y, and x=3
with any y<4."
So in your example and by comparing with the docs, the first partition
allows start_time = '2017-10-26 18:00:00-06' with source_no >= 1, and
the second partition allows source_no >= 3 which overlaps with the
first one.
