NTP does indeed find the best clock from the subset of clocks
which pass its sanity check, and then it uses only that one.
There are several problems with that, and as we speak I'm developing
a new algorithm which at least so far, gives much superior performance.
You can read my musings about this here:

My goal is to release the new NTP client before X-mas.
