Quoting dnsmasq's manpage  at https://dnsmasq.org/docs/dnsmasq-man.html:

"Note that the behaviour for queries which don't match the specified
address literal changed in version 2.86. Previous versions, configured
with (eg) --address=/example.com/1.2.3.4 and then queried for a RR type
other than A would return a NoData answer. From 2.86, the query is sent
upstream. To restore the pre-2.86 behaviour, use the configuration
--address=/example.com/1.2.3.4 --local=/example.com/"
