Sync will only take into account the new accounts and hostnames that are not present on the current device and the accounts and hostnames that exist on the current device but are older than the ones in iCloud.

Deleted accounts or hostnames from the current device will only be deleted from iCloud. If you want to delete the data from all the devices you must perform a manual delete on those devices. This is done so that users will not accidentally delete their data from all devices, or some users want to have different account and hostnames on different devices.
