Citation? I don't believe this is correct, or at least it's an incomplete assertion.
Assuming they do get with the iCloud backup, these keys would be inside the device's Keychain file which is encrypted at rest by the Secure Enclave. Thus even with access to a full, unencrypted backup of your iPhone, the keychain itself cannot be decrypted by Apple
(It can't be decrypted by you either, if it's restored to different hardware. This is why iCloud Keychain exists. And that is end-to-end encrypted.)
