Well, from the sounds of it they're not running at scale (always 3 nodes), and it sounds similar in principal to the way HSRP/VRRP works which is a well defined and understood protocol for doing leader election on a local network.
I suppose the question might be why not use VRRP itself, but if this works for them and has conflict resolution I don't think it's all that troubling.
