So you're saying that miners would delay the notarization transaction until the height specified in the CLTV, so that they can notarize and redeem in the same block
Yes, they could in theory, and tha...
It's not about delaying the transaction. If you only rely on CLTV, a spammer can mine a notarization transaction today and pretend that it has been published a long time ago.
But you are right, the software could additionally check that the notarization was mined N blocks before the locktime. This introduces an extra parameter, and it feels a bit like misusing CLTV, but it would indeed allow for longer time delays than CSV.
