Sorry for the confusion: what I meant to say is that
synchronization (should it be lagging) is not possible if the walreceiver is not started
(as XLogRecPtrIsInvalid(WalRcv->latestWalEnd) would be true).

More precisely here (in synchronize_slots()):

/* The primary_slot_name is not set yet or WALs not received yet */
SpinLockAcquire(&WalRcv->mutex);
if (!WalRcv ||
(WalRcv->slotname[0] == '\0') ||
XLogRecPtrIsInvalid(WalRcv->latestWalEnd))
{
SpinLockRelease(&WalRcv->mutex);
return naptime;
}
