In Postgres 10 and older versions, the server keeps WAL segment for
the last completed segment, and the previous completed segment.  So
even if a checkpoint is issued, the current WAL insert point is never
really going to be on the first segment in pg_wal.  Isn't that the
origin of what you think is a problem?  So, say, if you issue a
checkpoint again, don't you see 0000000100000CEA000000B1 going away?

In Postgres 11, WAL segments worth only one checkpoint are kept
around.
