Clients will typically request the address they had before when connecting to a network. It doesn't mean there is a problem, since they will get rejected and then send a new request to get a new address. It's a common behavior for DHCP clients to want to keep the same address if possible.
Now if they actually obtained an address for the wrong network, then you might have some cause to worry since it means you have an L2 connection between the segments so they're actually on the same switch segment which isn't what you want. That doesn't appear to be the case from what little you've shown in the log at least.
