A QFT Causality: Real Scalar Field & Probability

Hello everyone!
I have a question regarding the causality in QFT.
If I take into consideration a real scalar field and I calculate:
$$[\phi(x),\phi(y)] = 0 \space \space \space \space \space \text{if (x-y)}^2 < 0$$
Thanks to this relation we state that causality in QFT is preserved: a measurement in ##x## cannot talk to another one made in ##y##.
However, this is not the same of saying that the probability of going from ##x## to ##y## is ##0##, as a matter of fact it is ##D(x-y) \neq 0##. So the probability is not zero. I do not understand how we can link these two results coherently. From my perspective they are in contradiction (I know they are not, I'd like to understand why): the latter is what we call strictly causality and so it is broken.
Then usually books make another step forward. If I calculate the probability of going from ##y## to ##x## I found ##D(y-x)##. As long as ##x-y## is spacelike there is a continuos Lorentz transformation between ##x-y## and ##y-x## and since ##D(x)## is Lorentz invariant :
$$P(x \rightarrow y) = P(y \rightarrow y)$$
I understand the single steps, but I do not find the link between them. Thanks in advance!

It's best to think of ##D(x - y)## not as the probability to go from x to y, but as a measure of how correlated the value of ##\phi(x)## is with the value ##\phi(y)##.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
