after upgrade of dhcpcd to any version above 6.0.5, dhcpcd can't obtain
any IP address from the server. In the logs you can find that the ip is
indeed given but for some reasons is not set to the interface. The logs
for 6.0.5 and for 6.3.1 do not differ so much. I tried to use without
duid option and with clientid, but it di not help. I also recompiled (on
gentoo) without ipv6 support. All the log can be see in this post:

Do you have any ideas about this problem?

It's not a dhcpcd problem.
All the dhcpcd logs (6.0.5 and 6.3.1) say the same thing - the address assigned by DHCP was removed by a 3rd party. You ifconfig output with a "working" address is not actually shown in your logs at all. hence, dhcpcd isn't actually doing anything different in 6.3.1 that it was or wasn't doing in 6.0.5
