I mean the GPS satellites are in medium earth orbit so most LEO satellites receive the signal more or less the same way as people a few hundred km further down, no?
The comms between the GPS satellites and the ground stations is pretty interesting, see figure A4-1 in this for what happens to accuracy over time if the satellites stop getting corrections from the ground:
