This all looks fine.

I'm not sure why (without testing the configuration), but the switch to
timeline 2 switch is not happening.

Try setting:

recovery_target_timeline=latest

in recovery.conf on pg3.

It's possible that pg3 played past the time when timeline 2 diverged on
pg2 (i.e. pg3 was more up to date), in which case you will need to
restore pg3 from a backup and set the recovery_target_timeline as above.
