Normally, except for stratum-1 NTP servers which are specifically configured to

the local clock isn't used at all. For stratum-2 and higher timeservers, ntpd
will pick the most accurate timeserver based upon a selection algorithm, and
discipline the kernel clock against that as the reference.
A normal client will use all truechimers, not just the figurehead one
that is used for stratum and root distance.
