A generated clock must reference the clock propagating through its direct fan-in, although the create_generated_clock command allows specifying any reference clock. This DRC warning reports that the generated clock is associated with a master clock defined farther upstream than the actual incoming master clock. In this case, timing analysis can become more pessimistic and apply additional clock uncertainty to paths between the master clock and the generated clock. This can make timing closure slightly more difficult.
