This seems completely wrong to me. If the WAL receiver keeps receiving
stuff, (last receive timestamp) - (current timestamp) would never be
more than a few seconds. Regardless of how much applying the WAL has
fallen behind.

To accomplish what you're trying to accomplish, you would need to label
each received WAL record with the timestamp when it was received, and
compare the reception timestamp of the record you're applying against
current timestamp.
