The documentation to synchronous_commit = remote_apply explicitly states [1]:
"""
When set to remote_apply, commits will wait until replies from the
current synchronous standby(s) indicate they have received the commit
record of the transaction and applied it, so that it has become
visible to queries on the standby(s), and also written to durable
storage on the standbys.
"""
Here commit on the master happened before receiving replies from the standby(s).
