sync() guarantees that it will synchronize the data between the zk servers at 't' th time.
Say we have two clients and both are working on the same key path:
First client C1, is updating the value of x at 't1', 't2' and 't3' as follows.
at t1 time, value of x = 4
at t2 time, update value of x = 5
at t3 time, update value of x = 6
Second client C2, which is doing sync() at 't2' time and invoke a read() req at 't3' time.
(Ignoring the race condition between the updation of C1 and sync of C2, here assume C1 update
has happened first). Now C2 will see value of x=5 from any of the ZK servers(Leader/Followers),
but C2 is not guranteed to see value of x=6, as updation happened after sync() api call.

Yes. Sync doesn't guarantee up to date. It guarantees an ordering. It
guarantees that if event A involves a ZK update and if you can guarantee
that A occurs before sync, then any read on a client C that is done after a
sync on C will see a successor state of A.
