For UltraScale+ devices, HDIST nodes can straddle up to two adjacent clock regions horizontally. See the RED HDIST Node displayed in the following figure. If a Pblock is fully clock-region aligned (as shown in green in the following figure), then the left end of the red HDIST node falls into the fence region and causes the clock net does not honor routing exclusion requirement due to routing nodes notification to appear.

The solution is to adjust the Pblock left/right edge to contain the whole HDIST node horizontally, as shown in the following figure.
