"pg_locks provides a global view of all locks in the database cluster,
not only those relevant to the current database. Although its relation
column can be joined against pg_class.oid to identify locked relations,
this will only work correctly for relations in the current database
(those for which the database column is either the current database's
OID or zero)." (from the documentation)
