If we go with the order you are suggesting then the LOGs will appear
as follows when we are skipping the transaction:

"logical replication starts skipping transaction at LSN ..."
"time-delayed replication for txid %u, min_apply_delay = %lld ms,
Remaining wait time: ..."

Personally, I would prefer the above LOGs to be in reverse order as it
doesn't make much sense to me to first say that we are skipping
changes and then say the transaction is delayed. What do you think?
