It's highly unlikely that the apple reviewer will have access to the actual image in the database, instead they will assess whether the blurry,b/w,etc modified thumbnail could possibly be illegal. Given the level of secrecy surrounding the contents of the DB, even the normal NCMEC reviewers may not have access to those for comparison. There are plenty of CG images, small legal models, or even images of erotic toys which could be used as the base image which would look very suspicious as a low quality thumbnail.

That someone will be law enforcement, and they will get a warrant for all of your electronic devices in order to determine if you actually have CSAM or not. It's literally their job to investigate whether crimes were committed or not. Those investigations alone can ruin lives, even more so if arrests are made based on the tips or suspicions.
