Check out this Inside GNSS article on Negative Leap Seconds. This would be an interesting community discussion.
Please note, this is a great application for a GNSS simulator.

Yes Leisa, Our teams are aware about this case, this is very interesting as it would be the first time a negative leap second would have to be managed by systems using GNSS receiver. Future plans are seriously focusing on stopping the leap second introduction process but in the meantime, it is better to check any issue in advance. For our GNSS community, this is of course a new opportunity to test any potential behavior using a GNSS simulator - Skydel solutions have been designed for that purpose as well.

Here you can find the official BIPM article after CIPM - november 2022 resolution-4.
