How about having the async bubble grow smoothly, with the text sliding
upwards and the new text already draw sliding & fading into view, so
it does appear more like a teleprompter. This could possibly enable
the notifications to start of right in the bottom left, and grow
upwards while still being easy to follow.

The sync bubble could either be displayed right in the corner with the
async bubble above it, or alternatively in the top right corner,
meaning both bubbles could be right in the corner, if this is a
concern to people.

Sorry I'm not in a position where I can create a demonstration of this
working at the moment.
