Ahhh, this is a continual source of confusion. I've started a one-man campaign to talk about "leaders" and "followers" when relevant...
_Every_ node is a "replica". This is because a node can be a leader or follower, and the role can change. So your case is entirely normal. These nodes are probably the leaders too, and will remain so while you add more replicas/followers.
