If I query the MV and the underlying realtime data changes (i.e. from the source tables not the MV)  - should I be getting a replication conflict issue? I would have thought not as the MV data should not have been impacted

Then either something is running REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW or some other 
process is accessing the underlying tables.
