Are these streaming replicas?  The wal_streaming process on the master should show the xmin of the replicas; you can
checkthe value from pg_stat_activity to make sure the feedback is occurring. 

Are the replicas disconnecting from the replication stream? As the would mean the xmin from the replica would no longer
bein play.
