NTP source keeps changing

Hi.

On one of the Linux client (Centos 7.9), I see few times that NTP source keep changing. This is only VM in this environment, so I can't compare it with other VMs.

Time stays correct, it is just NTP servers/source which is changing. Is it indicating something, or I should check something why it is happening ? Is it expected behaviour of NTP ?

Code:[root@net-vols ~]# ntpq -p
