ADFS servers are members of the domain. As such, they are using the domain hierarchy to sync their clock. So it is not set to a specific source and could be any DC of the forest (the selection process is described here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773013.aspx (section: Time Source Selection).
