Incoming L6 amazon offer

I am expecting to receive an offer from Amazon for an L6 position. Two days ago the recruiter asked for some numbers that I was expecting the offer to meet and I provided some decently high numbers. Today he called me to give me an update, and he said that the number I provided where high, however, he is getting approval for them. He already has the approval from the hiring manager and is waiting on another one, and asked me to please be patient. Does all this sound legit?

Yes, but he wants you to be prepared to not be overwhelmed by the offer.
