If the font you're talking about is
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/pintassilgo/daft-brush?tab=techSpecs, then
it does claim to include a 'rand' feature.
I don't know how InDesign attempts to use 'rand' (if at all), but given
the description of the feature in
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/typography/opentype/spec/features_pt#tag-rand,
which says:
> "For GIDs found in the rand coverage table, the application passes a
GID to the rand table and gets back one or more new GIDs. The
application selects one of these either by a pseudo-random algorithm, or
by noting the sequence of IDs returned, storing that sequence, and
stepping through that set as the corresponding character code is invoked."
there is no expectation that it will produce consistent results from one
application to another, or one document to another (or even in repeated
rendering of the same document).

Without having the font or its feature code, it's very hard for someone
else to debug.
