The polling of the listed time servers actually happens more often than hourly, though I don't know how the data is used (it isn't used right away to modify ntp.drift). The polling intervals for the time servers are revealed by the command "ntp -qn" and appear in the "poll" column; the "when" column indicates elapsed seconds since the last poll. ntpd avoids polling all the servers at the same moment.
It's "ntpq -qn", not "ntp -qn". Sorry. Paul
