hi Petr
I have to redact, but I do it programmaticaly.
I think it happened after addition of second(last) replica, 
I initially installed server with 5.10.in-addr.arpa.
Now I do:

$ ipa dnszone-find
   Zone name: 5.10.in-addr.arpa.
   Active zone: TRUE
   Authoritative nameserver: rider.private.dom.
   Administrator e-mail address: hostmaster.private.dom.
   SOA serial: 1464884896
   SOA refresh: 3600
   SOA retry: 900
   SOA expire: 1209600
   SOA minimum: 3600
   Allow query: any;
   Allow transfer: none;

   Zone name: 10.5.10.in-addr.arpa.
   Active zone: TRUE
   Authoritative nameserver: work5.private.dom.
   Administrator e-mail address: hostmaster.private.dom.
   SOA serial: 1464489313
   SOA refresh: 3600
   SOA retry: 900
   SOA expire: 1209600
   SOA minimum: 3600
   Allow query: any;
   Allow transfer: none;

   Zone name: 6.5.10.in-addr.arpa.
   Active zone: TRUE
   Authoritative nameserver: swir.private.dom.
   Administrator e-mail address: hostmaster.private.dom.
   SOA serial: 1464880660
   SOA refresh: 3600
   SOA retry: 900
   SOA expire: 1209600
   SOA minimum: 3600
   Allow query: any;
   Allow transfer: none;

   Zone name: private.dom.
   Active zone: TRUE
   Authoritative nameserver: rider.private.dom.
   Administrator e-mail address: hostmaster.private.dom.
   SOA serial: 1464884764
   SOA refresh: 3600
   SOA retry: 900
   SOA expire: 1209600
   SOA minimum: 3600
   Allow query: any;
   Allow transfer: none;
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 4
----------------------------

and I dag "any" type of record and misread it, there is no 
ptr record returned, I could not get how delegation can be 
involved here.
It's IPA(rider is the first server) own 5.10.in-addr.arpa. 
And rider sees 10.5.6.32 10.5.6.17 etc. but not it's own 
record, which according to:

$ ipa dnsrecord-find 5.10.in-addr.arpa

exists:

   Record name: 100.6
   PTR record: rider.private.dom.

$ dig -x 10.5.6.100 +qr soa
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;100.6.5.10.in-addr.arpa. IN  SOA
