The one thing that you're missing here is a restrict statement to allow
your client subnet to access this broadcast server.

The broadcast line is what tells this particular ntpd to operate as a
broadcast server. You don't need the following broadcastclient line
(unless this server is also the broadcastclient of another broadcast
