Review comment:
       That doesn't sound like the intended behavior - or at least the expected 
behavior to me.
   
   I would expect that if currentSnapshot is 25 and we request fromTimestamp of 
30, the stream would not read anything. It would be assumed the user does not 
want any new updates as they wanted all changed data after 30, for which there 
is none.
