with synchronization what the gps receiver does is compute time difference between his current time (synchronized with atomic clock onborad each satellite) and the time tag of a satellite when the signal was sent. This difference gives the travel time of an signal from the satellite and hence the distance and position of the satellite in its orbit.
so, Why do we need the receiver to compute the positions of the satellite, if satellite itself sends their position with the signal everytime where they were?
