https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/sql-altersubscription.html

"Fetch missing table information from publisher. This will start 
replication of tables that were added to the subscribed-to publications 
since the last invocation of REFRESH PUBLICATION or since CREATE 
SUBSCRIPTION."

You have not added a table to the publication there is nothing to sync.
