The problem here is that your ntpd is following the (fake) Undisciplined
Local Clock instead of the (real) Remote Time Servers.

The Undisciplined Local Clock is a kludge to allow an ntpd to claim to
be synchronised even when it isn't. This capability is only useful if
the ntpd is serving time to others. But, as you can see, undesireable
things can happen.

Please try commenting out the local clock and restarting ntpd. You may
want to run 'ntpd -gq' before starting ntpd in daemon mode to preset the
time.
