LeaderElectionEventHandler.onLeaderInformationChange should only be called if the handler (i.e. DefaultLeaderElectionService) is actually the leader. This check is already implemented in the corresponding calling methods of the MultipleComponentLeaderElectionDriver implementations. But these methods only schedule the logic rather than executing it right away. The execution is handled in a separate thread (i.e. DefaultMultipleComponentLeaderElectionService#leadershipOperationExecutor). That might create a race condition if a leader change is queued up already but not performed, yet, before the leader information change event gets queued up as well.
