I considered the scene to be a fictional version of Anthony Caponigro being double crossed after receiving the green light to kill Angelo Bruno.

In addition, Leotardo's hit was probably not commission sanctioned, so somebody had to pay. However, in real life, there would have been a sit down with Tony and some commission representatives, I believe. And Tony wouldn't have been clipped while having dinner with his family.
