I'm encountering the same thing on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04.
Here is what happens right after a reboot:
jeff@bridges:~$ ll /run/ | grep dhcp
jeff@bridges:~$ sudo systemctl status isc-dhcp-server
[sudo] password for jeff:

I can hardcode the PID file names like Nicorac above mentions, but I'd rather
things just work out of the box without needing to apply random workarounds
like that.
