psql is not smart enough to understand that with a replication connection..

You should use pg_logical_slot_peek_changes or
pg_logical_slot_get_changes to grab changes from a replication slot
using psql. If you are looking at something at a lower level, have a
look at pg_recvlogical as an example of logical change receiver. It is
a good start point as well if your goal is to implement your own
receiver.

In any case, the documentation provides some examples:
