I think what he/she means here is that all queries in a CTE use a single
snapshot, meaning you don't see changes by commits that happen between
queries that are part of the same CTE.  If you were running the queries
separately in read committed mode, you would see those changes, but you
would not see them in repeatable read or serializable transaction mode.
