If a file still exists at the destination but is changed on the source, then there will be at a point in time two copies of the file at the destination: the original file and the newly copied file from the source, under its temporary name. --delete-whatever doesn't come into it. Only way to avoid that would be --inplace but that might be detrimental to the speedup, as moved data might not be able to be used as it might be written over during the transfer. Also the file's contents are not correct during the transfer (by default the file will have either the old or the new contents, but not a mix of the two).
