Question on RAC user-managed recovery

Folks,
I am running some time-based database instance recovery tests in the lab
on a three-node RAC environment. The following command was issued from
one RAC instance while the others were down. I am trying to understand
the way the change number (change 7286467501233) is being displayed on
the first line of each of the first three threads below. Why is this
number common here? After that, this number is distinct in each
subsequent archived log file. I would appreciate if someone can
explain/clarify it for me.

Thank you
Amir
