Chris, please carefully read the blog post. It is in there.

"The PacketHandler can send many kinds of questions depending on the nature
of your zone.  For example, it may ask about SOA records, even for zones you
do not host in your backend.  This is because when a question comes in for
‘www.something.com’, PowerDNS must go hunt for a backend with relevant
data."
