Your kindle, syncs with the database and finds this book gone and so deletes it from your kindle just as you have asked it to do. Correct?

So, how exactly has Amazon reached out to your device and erased the content on it?

You have not given it the command to erase the book. If a books is not sold anymore it is removed from your database but not removed from the device. So Amazon when removing books have generated a special command that removes the book. And they have done that intentionally.
