Sure it is. You didn't process the ones that you skipped. This is no
different than if you say WHERE a = 5. Depending on plan choice and
table contents, you may have "skipped" a large number of rows where a
!= 5, or you may have skipped none at all.

They better be. If you wanted the locked tuples, you shouldn't have
asked to skip them.
