CAP Theorem and MySQL

There's a CAP Theorem: R + W > N. Let's say I have W=1 (master), R = 6 (slaves), N = 6, so one slave can write and read. As the theorem says we could be sure in strong consistency (we always will get the newest value). I read that data storage could check the version and return the newest one. But is it true in fact of using MySQL? Or maybe we need to use any kind of middleman? How does CAP theorem apply to MySQL?
