You would need to remove the account from the device. On a Pixel device - Settings -> Accounts -> Select the account in question - > click the remove account button.
This does not delete the account from the Google servers but it removes it from the device. Just disabling the sync for Play Games does not remove it from the list of accounts when you set up a game that is "aware" of Play Games.
