You are misinterpreting this output. Nothing is "taking precedence"
over your local settings.

systemd-udev is a component of systemd. To build it, we have to run
meson in the systemd source tree.

The DNS servers are used by systemd-resolved.
The NTP servers are used by systemd-timedated.

The meson build file defines default settings so that these programs
will work even on an unconfigured system.

systemd-udev does not utilize these settings, so they are completely
irrelevant for sys-fs/udev.
