SaltStack: Highstate top.sls files execution when merging strategy is "same"

In my /etc/salt/master I have the following options set:

file_roots:
  base:
    - /srv/salt
  dev:
    - /srv/salt/dev

AND

top_file_merging_strategy: same
default_top: base

I have a top.sls for base(/srv/salt/top.sls) environment, which goes:

base:
  '*':
    - files

Where files.sls in defined in /srv/salt And one top.sls for dev(/srv/salt/dev/top.sls) environment, which goes:

dev:
  'saltMinion1':
    - django
  'saltMinion2':
    - MySQL

Where django.sls and MySQL.sls are defined in /srv/salt/dev/. Now if I call:

salt '*' state.highstate

When I am using top_file_merging_strategy: merge, then both base and dev environment are getting applied to my minions, whereas for this scenario, I am using top_file_merging_strategy: same, ONLY base environment is getting applied.
But according to Salt documentation: Top File, both base as well as dev environments should have gotten applied.

What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
