Polling interval is different than update interval.
From a FAQ at ntp.org: "Recent versions of ntpd (like 4.1.0) seem to
update the correction values less frequently, possibly causing problems.
Even if the reference time sources are polled more frequently, the local
system clock is adjusted less often."
There may also be an issue with how much adjustment NTP applies, rather
than how often.
