yeah, my fault!

it's dhcpcd - dhcp client
not dhcpd - dhcp server!

I'm sorry OP.

this is correct - dhsmasq it not a dhcp client and we don't need to know how 
dhcpcd works.

perhaps dhcpcd really sets static IP without requesting it over the network
(which is exactly what should be done when you are DHCP server for that 
network).
