Probably, or dhcpd needs to set the IP_FREEBIND socket option.

This has been discussed already a couple of days ago on this list.  It's
a generic problem with the way network.target and network-online.target
are defined now.  As a consequence, a tracker bug has been created in
bugzilla, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119787

Several per-package bug reports have been created and connected to the
tracker bug already.  It would be very helpful if you could create
another bug report for dhcpd, along the lines of the other bug reports
like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1096081 or
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119814.  The important
thing here is that you fill in the "Blocks" field with the number of the
tracker bug 1119787, so this can be followed through.
