Why each option
After the initial discovery of an ACI leaf switch, the fabric discovery process proceeds to detect and onboard the spine switches connected to that leaf.
In Cisco ACI fabric discovery, once a leaf switch (Leaf 1 in this case) is discovered and operational, it then facilitates the discovery of the spine switches to which it is physically connected, which are typically all spines in the fabric, such as Spine 1.
Other leaf switches (leaf 4, leaf 2, leaf 3) are also discovered by the APIC, but the immediate next step after a leaf's discovery is to discover its connected spines.
Following Leaf 1's discovery, it reports its neighbors, leading to the discovery of the spine switches connected to it; therefore, Spine 2, along with Spine 1, would be expected to be discovered next as Leaf 1 typically connects to all spines.
Other leaf switches (leaf 4, leaf 2, leaf 3) are also discovered by the APIC, but the immediate next step after a leaf's discovery is to discover its connected spines.
