Nothing seems wrong (suspicious).  Maybe the client is requesting a
shorter
than average lease time.  Renewal attempts happen at the half
way point of lease time.  So if you have 10 min. leases, you
can expect to see a renewal every 5 minutes.

We use short leases where I work (30 min I think) because it helps
maintain the health of the network... esp. true of floating devices
when dynamic dns is used.

The BOOTP from dynamic client and no dynamic leases seems to
point to a configuration problem.  Can you post your dhcpd.conf
file?

It may reveal what the problem actually is.
