Notice there are two tags on the trees. One identifies the tree, the other is the registration number of that individual tree in the ACP treatment program. Citrus sold in nurseries are one of the most highly regulated and inspected crops in the U.S.
I see two problems with the leaves in the picture: one is some minor damage from citrus leaf miner, the other (the yellow spotting) is symptomatic of roots being overcrowded in the nursery pots.
