I believe some (most?) Linux DHCP daemons (including the ISC "dhcpd"
version 2 and 3) use an AF_PACKET socket for all communication.  This
very raw socket gets a copy of all frames, long before they hit the
IPv4-specific packet filter that your "iptables" commands are
configuring.

Your best bet is, obviously, to configure your daemon to only bind to
a specific interface.  (The ISC "dhcpd" can do this with a command
line option, as someone else has pointed out.)
