I forgot to mention that I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and the GPS receiver is connected via USB
USB is not the best to get good results. You need to connect the PPS signal directly to a port on the device - typically the CD (carrier detect) line on a _true_ serial port is used. Likely the serial-over-USB is rejected because of excessive jitter.
I don't know whether you may have your "prefer" in the wrong place without looking in detail. You need the "prefer" against a server which will provide the coarse seconds (i.e. a clock) otherwise the PPS edge will not be recognised (as NTP needs both coarse time and the exact second). You may, or may not, be correct.
