[Q]: How does minpoll/maxpoll really work?

In the manual we can read the following:

minpoll minpoll
maxpoll maxpoll

    These options specify the minimum and maximum poll intervals for NTP messages, as a 
power of 2 in seconds. The maximum poll interval defaults to 10 (1,024 s), but can be 
increased by the maxpoll option to an upper limit of 17 (36.4 h). The minimum poll 
interval defaults to 6 (64 s), but can be decreased by the minpoll option to a lower 
limit of 0 (1 s).

So, what should actually happen when you use the minpoll 6 maxpoll 10 settings?

I just switched to ntpsec from systemd-timesyncd and it had similar settings, but in its case I could see (in wireshark) those additional NTP packets in 0:32 (2^5), 1:04(2^6), 2:08(2^7), 4:16(2^8), 8:32(2^9), 17:04(2^10) and 34:08 (2^11).

Should it work in the similar way? I'm asking because it looks like it polls the time server using the minpoll interval all the time and it doesn't increase.
