Not only that, but there is a little hint at the bottom of the note:

 System Change Number, ORA-19706 ,SCN low headroom issues, SCN Jumps <https://support.oracle.com/epmos/main/kmservlet?operation=doSearch&task=SearchProduct&type=subcomponent&id=SCI_3_2DJZ358&prodid=PI_1_97NVP&comp=CI_3_2OYN_2088&name=System%20Change%20Number%2C%20ORA-19706%20%2CSCN%20low%20headroom%20issues%2C%20SCN%20Jumps&source=>

Which is this scary Oracle weed which propagates the SCN headroom bug when using a db link.
