Named keeps track of where it has received DNS COOKIE responses from and expects to get one if it has received one before from that address. Depending upon the version named will fallback to TCP if it thinks that is should have got a DNS COOKIE responses but didn’t. Having different server capabilities in an anycast server can lead to this message being logged. Also spoofing attempts can lead to this message. As for 192.5.5.241 the instances run by Cloudflare on ISC’s behalf don’t support DNS COOKIE where as those run by ISC directly do. Changes in routing can mean that the particular instance that answers your query will change.
