Daemon filter rules only affect the daemon.  So, if it is receiving files,
it will not delete files that are protected, but the client never sees any
of the filter/exclude/include rules that are daemon-specific.  The standard
for rsync is for the client side to share its rules with the server, and the
daemon is never the client.

So, if you need the client to obey a filter rule, either specify that rule
to the client, or specify that the client read per-dir merge rules from
files that are included in the transfer (and limit yourself to delete-after
or the files won't be there in time to affect the delete).
