I believe you are speaking of RBL services such as spamhaus.org.  Yes,
indeed they try to keep a list of IP address ranges that are used by
ISP's to be dynamically allocated.  And, indeed there can be problems
when the list they keep doesn't match with reality.  In the case of
"good" RBL services like spamhaus they will fix the issue quickly with
the proper evidence that the IP in question really isn't allocated
dynamically.
