Impossible! The moon on the lower orbit should come out ahead. It must be due to the relative movement of the probe?

I got the impression that this is an animation created from real pictures, not something recorded from a probe.

Looks to me as though the moon that overtakes and partly eclipses the other moon is moving faster. How can the moon farther from the planet be moving faster than the one that is closer? Or have I just forgotten what little orbital dynamics I used to know?
