You should expect ANY message.

FIX is a full-duplex protocol. When you send your Logout, the other party may have messages in flight to you, which you need to process.

You should be prepared to receive ANY message. The Fix interface is not synchronous. This means that the counterparty can send you some "normal" messages before responding to your logout (this will happen for example if they use a message queue and your connection with them is limited in bandwidth).
