I see no such requirement in the BLE-MIDI specification, which says:
| To maintain precise inter-event timing, this protocol uses 13-bit
| millisecond-resolution timestamps to express the render time and event
| spacing of MIDI messages.
and:
| Correlation between the receiver’s clock and the received timestamps
| must be performed to ensure accurate rendering of MIDI messages, and
| is not addressed in this document.

In the context of the ALSA sequencer, "rendering" means delivery.
