Let's say a client has vClient=10 that consists of nodeA and nodeB and then the server generates a vServer=10 with nodeA, nodeC and nodeD. The server won't send back the topology but the client will be working sub-optimally until a new view is generated since it will be sending everything to the sole remaining node in his view, nodeA. If the new view had included only nodeE and nodeF (assumming nodeA and nodeB have been brought down), the client would need to reconnect to a known server somehow and would start at -1, so it'd get a new topology in first response.
